The Internet of Things (IoT) technology is widely adopted by the vast majority of businesses and is impacting every aspect of the world. However, the natures of the Internet, communication, embedded OS and backend recourses make IoT objects vulnerable to cyber attacks. In addition, most standard security solutions designed for enterprise systems are not applicable to IoT devices. As a result, we are facing a big IoT security and protection challenge, and it is urgent to analyze IoT-specific cyber attacks to design novel and efficient security mechanisms. Practitioners and industry representatives are encouraged to submit papers.
This conference will focus on IoT attacks and defenses, and seek original submissions that discuss either practical or theoretical solutions to identify IoT vulnerabilities and IoT security mechanisms. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the ones listed below.
We welcome contributions within, but not limited to, the following areas:
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers should be at most 20 pages (full paper including the bibliography and well-marked appendices) or 14 pages (short paper including the bibliography and well-marked appendices) in the LNCS format. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them. All submissions must be written in English.
- Full Paper: showcasing novel and mature research results. Papers should be written in LNCS with 20 pages including the bibliography and well-marked appendices.
- Short Paper: showcasing original / novel idea and ongoing work that hat has not yet reached the maturity level of a full paper. Short papers are limited to 14 pages in LNCS format, including bibliography and appendices.
Authors must follow the Springer LNCS formatting instructions. Papers have to be submitted via the Easychair system.
Each paper will receive at least three reviews. At least one author of each accepted paper must register by the early registration date indicated on the conference website and present the paper. For each accepted paper, at least one full registration is necessary.
