The deadline for the 8th International Workshop on Cyber-Physical
Systems Security (CPS-Sec), co-located with IEEE CNS 2023 is
approaching.

The scientific evolution of digital, analog, and physical devices and
their interactions with the networked systems created the
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Today, the boundary between cyber and
physical systems is blurring. CPS covers a multitude of smart devices,
ranging from smartphones and tablets to devices and applications which
exist in industrial, transportation, medical, home security, building
automation, emergency management, power, and many other systems. These
all enable the vision of CPS by allowing human beings to interact with
the physical world and serve critical functions in our lives. Given
the popularity of CPS applications, securing them against malicious
activities is of utmost importance. Otherwise, malfunctioning and
insecure CPS devices and applications can cause enormous damage to
individuals, businesses, and nations.

Following the success of the previous editions, the 8th IEEE
International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security 2023
(CPS-Sec 2023) aims to represent a forum for researchers and
practitioners from industry and academia interested in the areas of
CPS security. Therefore, CPS-Sec seeks novel submissions describing
practical and theoretical solutions for cyber security challenges in
CPS. Submissions may represent any application area for CPS.  Hence,
papers that are pertinent to the security of embedded systems, the
Internet of Things (IoT), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
(SCADA) Systems, Smart-Grids, Critical Infrastructure Networks,
Transportation Systems, and Medical Devices are all welcome.

Example topics of interest are given below, but are not limited to:
Secure CPS architectures
Authentication mechanisms for CPS
Access control for CPS
Blockchain applications for CPS
Data security and privacy for CPS
Forensics for CPS
Intrusion detection for CPS
Trusted-computing in CPS
Energy-efficient and secure CPS
Availability, recovery, and auditing for CPS
Distributed secure solutions for CPS
Threat models for CPS
Physical layer security for CPS
Use of AI and ML in CPS Security
