Different applications running on various platforms and interconnected systems (including identity management, time distribution networks, or supply chains) must face increasingly complex cyberattacks and security incidents that are hard to detect, as they exploit both technical and non-technical aspects. For instance, most of the network traffic nowadays is encrypted, and thus difficult to analyze with content-based tools. At the same time, many attacks target (first) the end nodes, especially less-protected client devices, or systems with limited resources, like embedded systems, or Internet of Things (IoT) and subsequently move (based on the permissions acquired) to more critical systems. Moreover, since the networks offer some protections through widely used security protocols, such as the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, dedicated attacks often address weaknesses in the implementation or installation of these protocols (on the server side), or exploit data after it has been received and cryptographically processed, i.e., while in use on the device. Last but not least, the human factor is fundamental in conducting or defending from many types of cyberattacks. Errors (accidental or intentional) could occur in the set-up, installation, configuration, deployment, and management of applications. The trusted computing and remote attestation techniques can be employed to create a solid ground for trusted execution environments for critical applications in different types of devices. On the other hand, Artificial Intelligence (AI) models may be applied for detecting network-based security attacks or malware based on measured parameters. 

The TrustAICyberSec 2024 workshop strives to gather contributions from researchers in network security including cloud and IoT security, security for embedded systems, trusted and confidential computing, and artificial intelligence areas, both academia and industry, working both on research and practical solutions for software and hardware security, or applications of trusted computing. Moreover, it aims to provide a forum for discussing the latest research trends regarding trusted computing, trusted environments for IoT devices, incident management, remote attestation, security for SDN (software-defined networking) & NFV (network functions virtualization), and cybersecurity attack detection. The objective is to acquire knowledge on the recent applications of trusted computing and machine learning for cybersecurity, provide recommendations for risk assessment, and ideas to develop innovative solutions for efficient defenses that are highly required by incident management and response teams or companies' security operation centers.

We invite innovative and high-quality submissions focusing on, but not restricted to, any combination of the following areas:

• Trusted computing, confidential computing

• Remote attestation techniques

• Trusted execution environments

• Internet of Things (IoT) security 

• Machine learning applied to intrusion detection 

• Intrusion detection and prevention systems 

• Tools for analysis of security protocols 

• Machine learning for malware classification and detection

• Software and hardware security 

• Cybersecurity incident management and response

• Standards, guidelines, and certification 

• Methods and countermeasures for advanced cybersecurity attacks 

• Security vulnerability processing and risk assessment methodologies 

• Behaviour-based security

• Social engineering attacks

Submission Guidelines

Workshop manuscripts should describe original work and should be no more than 6 pages in the IEEE double-column proceedings format, including tables, figures, and references. To download manuscript templates for IEEE conference proceedings use the following link: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html. 

Papers can be submitted directly to EDAS: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=32315

Note that accepted papers up to 6 pages will be published with no additional charge. Exceeding pages will be charged an additional fee. Papers longer than 8 pages will not be accepted. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register to the conference and present the paper. Only registered and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Accepted papers will be included in the ISCC 2024 proceedings and will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore. The ISCC proceedings have been indexed in the past by ISI, DBLP and Scopus. This makes the ISCC conference one of the publication venues with very high visibility and impact in both Computer and Communications areas. Other information about submission instructions for IEEE ISCC 2024 can be found here.
