13th International Workshop on Security, Privacy and Trust for IoT

General Information

The 13th International Workshop on Security, Privacy, Trust for Internet of Things (IoTSPT 2022) will be held in conjunction with the The 32nd  International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN 2023), in Honolulu, Hawaii. All papers presented in IoTSPT 2023 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 2024. 

Motivation for the Workshop

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We plan to seek previously unpublished work in theoretical or experimental research, or work in-progress on topics including, but not limited to, the following: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

·       Blockchain algorithms and applications for IoT security and privacy

Important Dates

Papers submission:                    April 2, 2023 

Notification of acceptance:       April 25, 2023 (Hard Deadline) 

Camera-ready paper due:         May 4, 2023 (Hard Deadline) 

Workshop date:                           July 27, 2023

Submission Instructions for authors

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=icccn2023) as PDF files (formatted for 8.5×11-inch paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 7 pages including all figures/tables and references. Submitted papers should not be previously published in or be under consideration for publication in another conference or journal. Paper titles and/or author names cannot be changed and/or added to the papers once papers are submitted (and in the camera-ready version if accepted). The 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 addresses. 

Review and Publication of Manuscripts

Submitted papers will be reviewed by the TPC and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation. An accepted paper must be presented at the conference venue by a registered author at the full registration rate. Each full registration covers up to two conference papers authored by the registered author. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
