Abstract: It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2014 International Workshop on Security in Cloud Computing (SCC). Cloud computing has emerged as today's most exciting computing paradigm shift in information technology, since it promises numerous benefits, including lower costs, rapid scaling, easier maintenance, and ubiquitous availability. Meanwhile, cloud computing also raises many security and privacy challenges such as data protection, recovery, privacy, access control, trusted computing, as well as legal issues in areas such as regulatory compliance, auditing, and many others. This workshop aims to bring together the research efforts from both the academia and industry in all security aspects related to cloud computing. This is the second year for our SCC workshop. We received 21 submissions from nine countries covering four continents, including Canada, China, Egypt, France, India, Oman, Sudan, Sweden, and United States. The submissions were reviewed by a technical program committee of 48 experts. The final program contains 9 papers, representing an acceptance rate of 43%. Our program also features a keynote speech "On the Security of Cloud Data Storage and Sharing" by Dr. Jianying Zhou from Infocomm Security Department at Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore.
