Call for Papers  

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) of interest to this workshop consist of large-scale interconnected systems of heterogeneous components interacting with their physical environments. There exist a multitude of CPS devices and applications deployed to serve critical functions in our lives thus making security an important non-functional attribute of such systems. This workshop will provide a platform for professionals from academia, government, and industry to discuss novel ways to address the ever-present security challenges facing CPS. We seek submissions describing theoretical and practical solutions to security challenges in CPS. Submissions pertinent to the security of embedded systems, IoT, SCADA, smart grid, and other critical infrastructure are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Attack detection for CPS
  • Authentication and access control for CPS
  • Autonomous vehicle security
  • Availability and auditing for CPS
  • Blockchain for CPS security
  • Data security and privacy for CPS
  • Deception Technologies for CPS
  • Digital twins/Cyber range for CPS security
  • Embedded systems security
  • Formal methods in CPS
  • Industrial control system security
  • IoT security
  • Legacy CPS system protection
  • Lightweight crypto and security
  • Maritime cyber security
  • Recovery from cyber attacks
  • Security and risk assessment for CPS
  • Security architectures for CPS
  • Security by design for CPS
  • Smart grid security
  • Threat modeling for CPS
  • Transportation system security
  • Vulnerability analysis for CPS
  • Wireless sensor network security

Submission Instructions

Paper submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cpss2023.

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. The review process is single-blinded, i.e., the papers should not be anonymized. Submissions must be in double-column ACM SIG Proceedings format (See HERE), and should not exceed 12 pages. Position papers describing the work in progress and papers describing novel testbeds are also welcome. Only pdf files will be accepted. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the workshop. At least one author of the paper must be registered at the appropriate conference rate. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.

This year, there was also a best paper award. For CPSS 2023, the best paper award was given to the following paper:

  • PAID: Perturbed Image Attacks Analysis and Intrusion Detection Mechanism for Autonomous Driving Systems

Keynotes

Data Security & Privacy Protection in IoT MGC Systems
Prof. Robert Deng (Singapore Management University, Singapore)

Abstract:
Many IoT and cyber-physical systems follow the MGC (eMbedded-Gateway-Cloud) architecture. In this architecture, embedded devices equipped with sensors send measurement data to a gateway which aggregates the data into appropriate records and upload them to the cloud for data access and analytics. An example application of the MGC architecture is infrastructure video monitoring, in which drones and robots with mounted cameras patrol physical operational environments for on-site monitoring, defeats inspection, etc, and videos are encrypted at a gateway and then uploaded to cloud for authorized access by various stake holders. In this talk, we will discuss the various data security and privacy issues in the infrastructure video monitoring system (and MGC architecture in general) and present a data security and privacy platform which supports flexible access control of encrypted data based on users' attributes and time of access and supports multiuser-to-multiuser encrypted keyword search over encrypted data.

About the speaker:
Robert Deng is AXA Chair Professor of Cybersecurity, Director of Secure Mobile Centre, and Deputy Dean for Faculty & Research, School of Computing and Information Systems, Singapore Management University (SMU). His research interests are in the areas of data security and privacy, network security, and applied cryptography. He received the Outstanding University Researcher Award from National University of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew Fellowship for Research Excellence from SMU, and Asia-Pacific Information Security Leadership Achievements Community Service Star from International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium. He is a Fellow of IEEE and Fellow of Academy of Engineering Singapore.


Digital twins: Double Insecurity for Industrial Scenarios
Assoc. Prof. Cristina Alcaraz (University of Malaga, Spain)

Abstract:
Industry 5.0 is increasingly having a greater influence on the modernization of industrial processes in order to improve not only its own value chain but also the supply chain within a context. In this case, Digital twins (DTs) is a leading technology, providing simulation capabilities to analyze, predict and optimize possible scenarios and situations, which is encouraging different industrial actors to invest in the technology, and especially to intensify the three Industry 5.0 objectives: centrality in the human being, sustainability and resilience. But this fact, in turn, forces the scientific community to pay attention to the risks that may be involved in adapting the technology itself in its operational domains. The deployment of a DT involves a set of risks and threats that are a consequence of its own criticality, what affects seriously Industry 5.0 resilience. In this talk, therefore, we will talk about that particular context of a DT, where we will explore potential threats that can corrupt the objectives of Industry 5.0, adding some security recommendations that can benefit, at least, the expected Industry 5.0 resilience.

About the speaker:
