CALL
FOR PAPERS
SSO’2013
The
International Workshop on Secure Smart Objects
http://www.china-iot.net/Workshops/SSO.htm
co-located
with IEEE iThings/CPSCom 2013
August 20-23, 2013
With the emergence of new information and
communication technologies, smart objects combined with communication
infrastructures such as Internet and mobile networks enable accessing to things
anywhere anytime, and collecting data secretly. To avoid emergence of a Big
Brother world, stringent control on the applications involving this kind of
objects is highly required with the need for objects to support security
functions. The challenging issue is that smart objects are extremely
constrained in terms of energy, computational power and memory, so support of
strong security is made arduous.
Smart cards, crypto-keys, mobile telephony, RFID and
NFC, TPM or TEE are examples of these devices where complex hardware and
software are designed to solve major constraints of security, safety,
reliability, efficiency, quality of service, and price. Many applications with
high social and business impact are part of IoT/SSO domain, including personal
healthcare, intelligent transportation, home automation, mobile payment,
e-passport, surveillance, etc. The most important challenges are: i) the
definition of architectures, protocols and algorithms to secure smart objects
and their connection to the information system on the Internet/Cloud; and ii)
the creation of platforms and services that are open, secure, and interoperable
to interconnect things/smart objects.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together
practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have
a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in
theory, application and implementation of the SSO concept: technologies,
protocols, algorithms, applications and services, standardisation initiatives,
user experience.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- RF & hardware for the IoT/SSO
- System architectures for the IoT/SSO
- Communication protocols for the IoT/SSO
- Security and Testing for the IoT/SSO
- New applications, services and their deployment for
the IoT/SSO
- Mobility management for the IoT/SSO
- Experimental prototypes for the IoT/SSO
- Performance evaluation for the IoT/SSO
All submissions must be original work not under review
at any other workshop, conference, or journal. The workshop will accept papers
describing completed work as well as work-in-progress. Authors are invited to
submit Full Papers (up to 8 pages) or Short Papers (up to 4 pages) including
figures, tables, and references. Papers should be written according to the IEEE
Computer Society format: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting.
The submission deadline is May 31, 2013. The PDF file of your paper must be submitted on line using the
following link: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sso2013.
For any question, send an email to samia.bouzefrane@cnam.fr.
Workshop proceedings will be published in the
proceedings of iThings'13 by IEEE Computer Society (EI indexed). Extended
versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in several
SCI-index international journals.
