General Information

The 12th International Workshop on Security, Privacy, Trust for Internet of Things (IoTSPT 2022) will be held in conjunction with the The 31st International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN 2022), in Honolulu, Hawaii. All papers presented in IoTSPT 2022 will be published in the workshop proceedings.

The organizers of the workshop will invite authors of outstanding papers to submit extended versions of their papers for publication in a Special issue, with a publication date of early 2023.

Motivation for the Workshop

Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as the next big technological revolution in computing in recent years with the potential to transform every sphere of human life. With an expanding network of interconnected Internet-enabled devices, IoT devices are used in a range of applications from connected cars, smart homes, healthcare, smart retail, to supply-chain management. The rise of this transformative technology is however deeply mired with security and privacy concerns.

The large influx of connected devices in the market introduces new vulnerabilities and opens new avenues for security attacks. The massive scale and variety of these devices also make it challenging for the manufacturers to design and implement manageable security and privacy solutions resulting in devices shipped without adequate security controls in place. Traditional security, privacy and trust-based solutions are also found to be inefficient against the various constraints of the IoT environment.

This workshop aims to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the models and design of secure, privacy-preserving, or trust architectures, data analyses and fusion platforms, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for next generation IoT systems. We especially encourage security and privacy solutions that employ innovative machine learning techniques to tackle the issues of data volume and variety problems that are systemic in IoT platforms.

We plan to seek previously unpublished work in theoretical or experimental research, or work in-progress on topics including, but not limited to, the following:

· Architectures and protocols for scalable, secure, robust and privacy enhancing IoT

· Security and privacy frameworks for IoT

· Cryptographic approaches for security and privacy in IoT

· Trust frameworks and management models for IoT

· Wireless security protocols for IoT

· Threat and attack models in IoT

· Intrusion and malware detection for IoT

· End-to-end system security models for IoT

· Machine Learning for security and privacy in IoT

· Machine learning for anomaly detection in IoT

· Machine learning to analyze cryptographic protocols for IoT

· Deep Learning for security in IoT

· Privacy-preserving Edge Machine Learning in IoT

· Privacy enhancing and anonymization techniques in IoT

· Attack against Federated Learning in IoT Systems

· Security and privacy of IoT in Healthcare

· Quantum solutions for IoT security

Important Dates

Papers submission: March 28, 2022

Notification of acceptance: April 24, 2022 (Hard Deadline)

Camera-ready paper due: May 4, 2022 (Hard Deadline)

Workshop date: July 28, 2022

Submission Instructions for authors

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop. Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icccn2022) as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11-inch paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 7 pages. Additional pages are not permitted.

Submitted papers cannot have been previously published in or be under consideration for publication in another journal or conference. The workshop Program Committee reserves the right to not review papers that either exceed the length specification or have been submitted or published elsewhere. Submissions must include a title, abstract, keywords, author(s), and affiliation(s) with postal and e-mail address(es).

Review and Publication of Manuscripts

Submitted papers will be reviewed by the workshop Program Committee and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation. An accepted paper must be presented at the ICCCN 2022 venue by one of the authors registered at the full registration rate. Each workshop registration covers up to two workshop papers by an author. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the ICCCN proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference, including IEEE Xplore® Digital Library if the paper is not presented by the author at the conference.

ICCCN 2022 Paper Submission Terms and Conditions

1. Authors understand that the submission is original and has not been submitted to other venue or under consideration by other venues.

2. Paper titles and/or author names cannot be changed and/or added to the papers once papers are submitted to ICCCN 2022 for review (and in the final camera-ready manuscript if accepted).

3. If the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors must register/pay at full rate and present it in person at the conference. Please check ICCCN conference site for more publication requirements.
