Security for IoT Networks and Devices in 6G (Sec4IoT)
Scope of the workshop
As the deployment of 5G networks is in progress, the researchers and engineers are now shifting their attention towards developing the next generation of mobile networks (6G), which is expected to provide Tbps wireless connectivity with ultra-high reliability and extremely low latency (less than 1ms). The new generation of mobile networks, which is expected to be commercialized by 2030, are envisioned to offer much wider range of applications comparing to 5G by interconnecting billions of IoT devices such as extended reality devices, wearable displays, drones, and autonomous vehicles. Definitely, the unprecedented growth of 6G-enabled IoT devices along with the massive emergence of connections in the future 6G communication platform will increase the security vulnerabilities for the IoT networks and devices, leading to a wide spectrum of known and unknown security threats. However, the high resource requirements of conventional security solutions render them inappropriate for IoT protection as they cannot be afforded by i) the resource-constrained IoT devices with limited processing power, storage capacity, and battery life, and/or (ii) the constrained environment in which the IoT devices are deployed and interconnected using lightweight communication protocols. Consequently, there is an urgent need for developing novel security solutions for IoT networks and devices, taking into consideration the inherent limitations of IoT devices and networks due to their resource-constrained characteristics.
In this context, the main motivation for Sec4IoT 2023 workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on novel security solutions for IoT networks and devices and disseminate current research issues and advances. Sec4IoT 2023 workshop welcomes submissions focused on the design and development of novel security solutions for IoT networks and devices in the future 6G communication platform.
This workshop will be held exclusively in-person.
