The Eighth International Workshop on Security, Privacy and Trust in the
Internet of Things (SPT-IoT)

In Conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2025
March 17-21, 2025, Washington DC, USA 

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel design paradigm, envisioned as
a network of billions or trillions of “Things” communicating with one
another and rapidly gaining global attention from academia, industry,
and government. Pervasive computing is at the heart of IoT and forms a
fundamental building block necessary to realize the IoT. Equipped with
pervasive technologies such as RFID and smart dust together with tiny
sensors, actuators and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication
technologies, IoT has the potential to offer innovative solutions to
global challenges faced by ageing populations, the growing cost of
healthcare, climate change, bio security, as well as how we manage our
environment and natural resources. The heterogeneous nature of the IoT
as well as the computational constraints of many of the building
blocks of the IoT make security, privacy and trust an extremely
challenging problem to solve on one hand, while security, privacy and
trust play a critical role for most, if not all, applications of IoT
in domains such as surveillance, healthcare, security, transport, food
safety, manufacturing, logistics and supply chain management. Without
effective solutions for security, privacy and trust, reliable data
fusion and mining, qualified services with context-aware intelligence
and enhanced user acceptance and experience cannot be achieved.

The IEEE Percom workshop on Security, Privacy and Trust for IoT aims
to provide a forum that brings together researchers from academia as
well as practitioners from industry, standardization bodies, and
government to meet and exchange ideas on recent research and future
directions for the IoT with a specific focus on IoT security, privacy
and trust. The technical discussion will be focused on the
communications and network security aspects of IoT and the key
enabling technologies for IoT, especially M2M communications and
networking, RFID technology and Near Field Communications (NFC). The
workshop will foster an opportunity to bring together relevant
stakeholders to identify challenges to security, privacy and trust,
and novel approaches to solving these. All workshop papers require a
full author registration at the main conference rate. The technical
topics of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to:

    IoT Fuzzing and Software vulnerability discovery in IoT and smart objects

    IoT secure access network technologies and capillary networks
