------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2012 Workshop on the Security of the Internet of Things (SecIoT'12) Munich (Germany), July 30, 2012 http://www.nics.uma.es/seciot12 in conjunction with IEEE ICCCN 2012, July 30 – August 2, 2012 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates: ---------------- Paper Submission due: March 9, 2012 Acceptance notification: April 25, 2012 Final papers due: May 10, 2012 Overview/Scope: --------------- While there are many definitions of the Internet of Things (IoT), all of them revolve around the same central concept: a world-wide network of interconnected objects. These objects will make use of multiple technological building blocks (e.g. wireless communication, sensors, actuators, RFID) and connectivity paradigms (e.g. cloud-based infrastructures, P2P systems) in order to allow people and things to be connected anytime anyplace, with anything and anyone. However, mainly due to the inherent heterogeneity of this vision and its broad scope, there will not be a single silver bullet security solution that will fulfill all the security requirements of the IoT. Therefore: How can we include security as a core element of the IoT? How will the IoT interact with other security mechanisms of the Future Internet? What security requirements will be truly challenged by the ultimate vision of the IoT? It is precisely the goal of this workshop to bring together researchers and industry experts in areas relevant to the security of the Internet of Things to discuss these and other significant issues. Moreover, this workshop also has the objective to serve as a forum not only for presenting cutting-edge research, but also for debating the role of security and its practical implications in the development of the IoT. Topics of interest for the workshop include the following: ---------------------------------------------------------- * New security problems in the context of the IoT. * Privacy risks and data management problems. * Identifying, authenticating, and authorizing entities. * Development of trust frameworks for secure collaboration. * New cryptographic primitives for constrained "things". * Connecting heterogeneous ecosystems and technologies. * Legal challenges and governance Issues. * Resilience to external and internal attacks. * Context-Aware security. * Providing protection to an IP-connected IoT. * Web services security and other application-layer issues. * Security of cloud-based M2M/IoT platforms. * Distributed policy enforcement and rights management. * Usability of security and privacy technologies in the context of the IoT. Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via EDAS (http://edas.info/) as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11-inch paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 5 pages. One additional page is permitted if the authors are willing to pay an over-length charge at the time of publication (manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages). Submitted papers cannot have been previously published in or be under consideration for publication in another journal or conference. The workshop Program Committee reserves the right to not review papers that either exceed the length specification or have been submitted or published elsewhere. Submissions must include a title, abstract, keywords, author(s) and affiliation(s) with postal and e-mail address(es). A paper abstract must be registered on EDAS by the deadline. Submitted papers will be reviewed by the workshop Program Committee and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation. An accepted paper must be presented at the ICCCN 2012 venue by one of the authors registered at the full registration rate. Each workshop registration covers up to two workshop papers by an author. Accepted and registered papers will be published in proceedings that will be available through Xplore. Papers that are not presented at the ICCCN 2012 venue by one of the registered co-authors will not appear in Xplore.
