********************************************************************** * CALL FOR PAPERS* ********************************************************************** *XRSecurity 2025 - Co-located with ACM MobiHoc 2025, October 27-30, 2025, Houston, TX, USA* ( *https://xrsecurity.github.io/2025/ ) Extended Reality (XR) is a comprehensive term that includes Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Virtual Reality (VR). XR bridges physical and digital worlds, creating interactive, immersive experiences that merge with the real world. It offers numerous applications across education, training, manufacturing, collaborative 3D design, art, and multiplayer gaming. Despite these benefits, XR systems introduce unique security, privacy, and trust challenges due to the intimate connection between users, their XR devices, and their immediate environments. The potential attacks can involve information flooding to induce latency and physical discomfort, injecting misleading virtual content to distract or deceive users, subverting personal area networks to create confusion, spoofing alarms, assessing user status through eye tracking, and accessing onboard cameras to gather environmental information without the user's awareness. Additionally, XR apps can access sensitive real-time inputs like eye gaze, head movement, hand gestures, and even biosignals, and users' immediate environment. These signals, while critical for immersive experiences, open up novel attack surfaces such as keystroke inference, emotional profiling, and behavioral tracking. This workshop will explore the security, privacy, and trust challenges in XR systems, along with potential solutions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -- Threat modeling and risk assessment in XR environments -- Secure data transmission and storage in XR systems -- Privacy-preserving techniques for XR applications -- Authentication and access control mechanisms for XR -- AI-driven security solutions for XR -- Case studies and real-world applications of secure XR systems -- Side-channel vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies in XR systems -- Security in shared or collaborative XR environments -- Human-centered and usable security designs for XR -- Security and privacy in edge-assisted and cloud-connected XR platforms *Important dates* -- Submission deadline: August 1, 2025 -- Acceptance notification: August 22, 2025 -- Camera-ready manuscript deadline: August 29, 2025 -- Workshop: October 30, 2025 Organizers: Maria Gorlatova (Duke), Bin Li (Penn State), and Ming LI (UT Arlington)
