M2MSec 2014 First International Workshop on Security and Privacy in  
Machine-to-Machine Communications, San Francisco, CA, USA, October 29,  
2014. (Submissions due 1 June 2014)

The First International Workshop on Security and Privacy in  
Machine-to-Machine Communications (M2MSec'14) aims to foster  
innovative research and discuss about security and privacy challenges,  
solutions, implementations, and standardization in emerging M2M  
communication systems. M2MSec'14 takes place on October 29, 2014 in  
San Francisco, USA in conjunction with IEEE Conference on  
Communications and Network Security (CNS'14). Papers from academic  
researchers, industry practitioners, and government institutions  
offering novel research contributions in all theoretical and practical  
aspects of security and privacy in M2M communications are solicited  
for submission to M2MSec'14.

The scope of this workshop covers all aspects of security and privacy  
in M2M communications and particular topics of interest include, but  
are not limited to:
- Threat and vulnerability analysis in M2M communications
- Attacks and countermeasures in M2M communications
- System architecture for security and privacy in M2M communications
- Physical layer security in M2M communications
- Cross layer design for security and privacy in M2M communications
- Security and privacy in smart grid, RFID, near field communications  
(NFC), bluetooth, wireless sensor networks, body area networks,  
  e-health, vehicular ad-hoc networks
- Lightweight cryptographic primitives and protocols
- Trust and assurance in M2M communications
- Hardware security module and platform for M2M communications
- Identity and credential management in M2M communications
- Standardization for M2M communications
- Cloud computing and M2M communications
- Device-to-Device (D2D) networks such as LTE-direct
- Pervasive sensing Networks, including mobile crowdsourcing,  
  participatory sensing
- Novel attacks resulting in IoT environments
- Data mining, cleaning and analysis techniques for IoT
- Real world deployment and experiences
- Prototype IoT systems and applications
