DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:*\nThere is a strong demand for a secure cryptograph
 ic platform in cloud\nand mobile computing to support variety of sensitive
  applications. When\nused in large scale distributed environments\, one of
  the options is to\nprovide cryptography operations as a service (CaaS) in
 stead of computed\non end-user device. It is crucial for CaaS to be truste
 d by its users as\nthe cryptographic material is accessed and can be compr
 omised. One\noption is to execute sensitive operations inside a trusted ha
 rdware\nmodule (HSM) so even platform operator is not able to access used\
 ncryptographic material. Current HSMs provides reasonable computational\np
 erformance for closed centralised systems (e.g.\, top HSMs can perform\nup
  to 9\,000 RSA 1024b signatures per second). But implementing CaaS for\ndi
 fferent operations with distinct keys submitted by many users in\nparallel
  with currently available HSMs comes with a number of\nchallenges\, though
 .\nThe talk will summarize existing challenges and introduce alternative\n
 architecture capable to host large number of applications\, cryptographic\
 nmaterial and concurrent users. The experience obtained from building\nsuc
 h architecture will be also discussed.\n\n*Bio:*\nPetr Švenda is Assistan
 t Professor at the Masaryk University\, Brno\,\nCzech Republic. He engages
  in the research of an authentication and key\ndistribution protocols usab
 le for distributed systems with multiple\nparties\, often with the devices
  significantly limited in performance\ncapabilities and/or working in part
 ially compromised environment like\ncryptographic smart cards or wireless 
 sensor networks. He also focus on\na utilization of secure hardware in com
 plex scenarios and the\ndevelopment of secure applications on such platfor
 ms. Presented work is\na part of applied research done by Enigma Bridge @ 
 ideaSpace\, Cambridge\, UK.
