Workshop on Security and Privacy in Connected Embedded Systems (SPICES)

SPICES 2024: Call for Papers and for Reproducibility Studies 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 3rd Workshop on Security and Privacy in Connected Embedded Systems (SPICES 2024) -- https://www.tii.ae/workshop/spices

Co-located with EWSN 2024 -- December 10, 2024          

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPICES addresses challenges and fosters interdisciplinary collaboration to explore innovative solutions for securing wireless and embedded systems. The workshop provides a platform for researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to discuss the latest topics and challenges in wireless and embedded systems security and privacy –  not only on how existing systems should be secured but also exploring important security aspects (or lack of) in current research trends. We welcome submissions with unusual takes on existing techniques, proposals for novel security and privacy solutions, exposure of atypical weaknesses, and the application of unconventional approaches to solving next-generation wireless security challenges. 

We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to submit papers (up to 6 pages, double-column) focusing on topics such as:

• Wireless security for cyber-physical systems (e.g., factory automation).
• AI / Machine Learning assisted security and privacy at the physical, MAC, or networking layers.
• Generative Adversarial Networks for wireless and embedded security.
• Security protocols for wireless communications and networking.
• RF Jamming attacks and defenses for wireless networks.
• Localization and positioning privacy (GPS, UWB, BLE 5.2, etc.).
• Measurement of embedded computing privacy leakage.
• Privacy-enhancing and anonymization techniques in embedded computing.
• Security and privacy techniques in embedded computing.
• Privacy-enhanced data analytics and storage in embedded computing.
• Privacy-preservation methods on context (e.g., location, energy) changes in embedded computing.
• Offensive security and side-channel attacks on IoT devices.
• Security and possible weaknesses in 6G cellular networks (3GPP, ETSI, IEEE, etc.).
• Testbed and experimental platforms for wireless security.
• Vehicular network security (e.g., drones, automotive, avionics, autonomous driving).
• Security for UAV swarms (i.e., distributed, highly mobile systems).
• Communications security in satellite systems.
• Cryptography primitives and lightweight protocols for embedded IoT devices.
• Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS).
• Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs).
• Internet of the Things (IoT) security and privacy.
• Smart Contracts and Blockchain for wireless communication.
• Multi-factor authentication methods for embedded IoT devices.
• Zero-knowledge and zero-trust techniques in embedded computing.

Accepted papers will be published in the ACM EWSN 2024 proceedings and presented at the workshop.
