*Workshop Objectives*

E-health systems have the objective to continuously monitor the state of 
patients in order to increase knowledge and understanding of their 
physical status. Being a system of systems, the Internet of Things (IoT) 
has to master the challenge of integrating heterogeneous systems across 
technology boundaries. Timely delivery of observation data is a key 
aspect to identifying potential diseases and anomalies. IoT systems are 
vulnerable to attacks since communication is mostly wireless and thus 
vulnerable to eavesdropping, things are usually unattended and thus 
vulnerable to physical attacks, and most IoT elements are short on both 
the energy and computing resources necessary for the implementation of 
complex security-supporting schemes. Among the plethora of applications 
that can benefit from the IoT, the workshop will have a particular focus 
on security aspects in eHealth and in the broad-sense of well-being. 
Security aspects in other application domains of the IoT are also of 
interest.

The workshop will address security issues that are particular to the 
context of using IoT for eHealth including threat modeling, risk 
assessment, privacy, access control, and fault-tolerance. Theoretical, 
modeling, implementation, and experimentation issues will be discussed 
to build an accurate general view on the security of medical BANs. One 
of the major challenges that will be underlined by the workshop 
participants is the combination of different security models needed for 
the sub-networks of the IoT (e.g., BAN, PAN, LAN, MANET) with 
consideration of the severe computational, storage, and energy 
limitations of the elementary smart nodes. We encourage contributions 
describing innovative work addressing the use of information and 
communication technologies in medical applications. Topics of interest 
include, but are not limited to:

  * Definition of accurate metrics to assess the threats and the risks
    associated to IoT for eHealth
  * Identification and description of new attack scenarios that are
    specific to IoT architectures
  * Context-awareness for IoT security in eHealth
  * Soft trust management in IoT
  * Risk-based adaptive security for IoT
  * Analytics and predictive models for adaptive security in IoT
  * Adaptive security decision-making models for IoT
  * Evaluation and validation models for adaptive security in IoT
  * Lightweight cryptographic protocols for IoT
  * Investigation of the security properties that should be fulfilled by
    the transmission of patient data across body area networks
  * Designing secure heterogeneous BAN architectures for eHealth
    applications
  * Implementing practical testbeds that allow the analysis of the
    security performance of BANs
  * Monitoring the security level of the eHealth applications relying on IoT
  * Analyzing the results of experiments conducted using real patient
    data and studying the security performance of the associated
    architectures
