Previously unpublished contributions in Blockchain derived by experimental and theoretical communication, networking and analytics techniques for the Secure Software-defined Networking in Smart Communities are solicited including (but not limited to):  

• Security and privacy for innovative service delivery models.

• Lightweight Cryptography in wireless sensors nodes for SDN security.

• Quantum Cryptography in heterogeneous IoT devices for SDN security.

• Blockchain for secure device-to-device communication in SDN.

• Authentication, authorization, and access control for SDN security.

• Blockchain for anomaly detection in smart communities.

• Blockchain for secure integration of IoT and fog devices for SDN.

• Intrusion detection and prevention system for SDN security.

• Heterogeneous blockchain models and trustworthy architectures.

• Blockchain for secure data storage and computing model in SDN.

• Testbed and experimental components tailored to specific BlockSecSDN.

• Blockchain for secure transaction management using SDN.

• Deduplication architectures for blockchain-enabled cloud storage.

• Blockchain for security and privacy standardization for SDN.

• Dependable control plane optimization for BlockSecSDN in Smart Communities.

The BlockSecSDN 2024 workshop invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers should not exceed 6 pages single-spaced double-column, using IEEE format. Additional pages might be purchased upon the approval of the proceedings chair.

• Submission Link at EDAS

• Submission requires the willingness of at least one of the authors to register for an early full and non-student fee and present the paper.

• All papers submitted to this workshop will peer-reviewed and proceedings will be published by IEEE and made available online via the IEEE Digital Library.
