The 6th Joint Workshop on
CPS & IoT Security and Privacy

In conjunction with the
ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security 2024

Background

The Joint Workshop on CPS&IoT Security and Privacy (CPSIoTSec) is the result of the merger of the Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security and Privacy (CPS-SPC) and Workshop on the Internet of Things Security and Privacy (IoTS&P) previously organized annually in conjunction with ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security.

Scope

The Workshop on CPS&IoT Security and Privacy (CPSIoTSec 2024) invites academia, industry, and governmental entities to submit:

We seek submissions from multiple interdisciplinary backgrounds tackling security and privacy issues in CPS&IoT, including but not limited to:

Also of interest will be papers that can point the research community to new research directions, and those that can set research agendas and priorities in CPS/IoT security and privacy. There will be a best paper award.

Program

   ICSNet: A Hybrid-Interaction Honeynet for Industrial Control Systems. Luis Salazar (University of California Santa Cruz), Efrén López-Morales (Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi), Juan Lozano (UC Santa Cruz), Carlos Rubio-Medrano (Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi), Álvaro Cárdenas (University of California, Santa Cruz)

9:00 - 10:30 Session 1: Security in the Physical World
Opening Remarks, Kassem Fawaz (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
Keynote: Physics and Security: Then and Now, Álvaro Cárdenas (University of California, Santa Cruz)
Abstract: In this talk we will cover the state of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) security in 2007 and how it has evolved in almost two decades. In particular, attacks that were only hypothetical two decades ago have been developed and deployed by researchers and malicious foreign actors. To defend and anticipate future threats, our research community has adopted well-known models of the physical world to understand the risks of attacks, to detect attacks, and to recover from attacks. We will summarize these cases through examples from industrial control systems, the power grid, and autonomous vehicles.

Submission Guidelines

Submissions include long papers (12 pages), short papers (6 pages), or 1-page abstracts:

Submitted papers can be up to 12 or 6 pages excluding appendices and references, and should provide enough details to enable reproducibility. All submitted papers must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references, for double blind reviews. Submissions must use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (see https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template, with a simpler version here: https://github.com/acmccs/format). Only PDF files will be accepted.

Accepted papers will be published by the ACM Press and/or the ACM Digital Library. We expect all authors to consider diversity and inclusion, especially when preparing their own submission (see https://www.acm.org/diversity-inclusion/about). Submissions must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Each accepted paper must be presented by a registered author. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk immediate rejection. For questions about these policies, please contact the chairs.
