Cyber-physical and smart embedded systems, already highly networked, are increasingly connected to form the Internet of Things, handling large amounts of private and safety critical data. The pervasive diffusion of these devices will create several threats to privacy and could open new possibilities for attackers, since the security of even large portions of the Internet of Things could be harmed by compromising a reduced number of components. The possibility of securely updating devices should be guaranteed and it should be possible to verify and assert the root of trust of components. With respect to the context we encourage contributions in different areas of security in Internet of Things.
Submission Guidelines
Perspective authors are invited to submit novel contributions, work in progresses, and positional papers (4 to 6 pages for regular papers, 2 pages for extended abstracts, double-column ACM conference format). Submissions must be anonymous with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references.
Topics of interest to the workshop include but are not limit to:
- Malicious firmware design and detection
- Malware in Internet of Things applications
- Hardware root of trust
- Privacy issues of smart-home systems and complex systems
- Hardware Trojans and their effects on systems
- Hardware authentication and IP protection
- Secure communication and key-management
- Implementation attacks and countermeasures
- Emerging threats and attack vectors in the Internet of Things
- Supply chain security
- Artificial intelligence techniques for malware detection
- GDPR-compliant hardware and software design
