 The 2012 Workshop on the Security of the Internet of Things (SecIoT'12)
 Munich (Germany), July 30, 2012
 http://www.nics.uma.es/seciot12
 in conjunction with
 IEEE ICCCN 2012, July 30 – August 2, 2012
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Important Dates:
----------------

Paper Submission due: March 9, 2012
Acceptance notification: April 25, 2012
Final papers due: May 10, 2012

Overview/Scope:
---------------

While there are many definitions of the Internet of Things (IoT), all of
them revolve around the same central concept: a world-wide network of
interconnected objects. These objects will make use of multiple 
technological building blocks (e.g. wireless communication, sensors, 
actuators, RFID) and connectivity paradigms (e.g. cloud-based 
infrastructures, P2P systems) in order to allow people and things to be
connected anytime anyplace, with anything and anyone. However, mainly due
to the inherent heterogeneity of this vision and its broad scope, there
will not be a single silver bullet security solution that will fulfill all
the security requirements of the IoT. Therefore: How can we include
security as a core element of the IoT? How will the IoT interact with
other security mechanisms of the Future Internet? What security 
requirements will be truly challenged by the ultimate vision of the IoT?

It is precisely the goal of this workshop to bring together researchers 
and industry experts in areas relevant to the security of the Internet of
Things to discuss these and other significant issues. Moreover, this 
workshop also has the objective to serve as a forum not only for 
presenting cutting-edge research, but also for debating the role of 
security and its practical implications in the development of the IoT.

Topics of interest for the workshop include the following:
----------------------------------------------------------

 * New security problems in the context of the IoT.
 * Privacy risks and data management problems.
 * Identifying, authenticating, and authorizing entities.
 * Development of trust frameworks for secure collaboration.
 * New cryptographic primitives for constrained "things".
 * Connecting heterogeneous ecosystems and technologies.
 * Legal challenges and governance Issues. 
 * Resilience to external and internal attacks.
 * Context-Aware security.
 * Providing protection to an IP-connected IoT.
 * Web services security and other application-layer issues.
 * Security of cloud-based M2M/IoT platforms.
 * Distributed policy enforcement and rights management.
 * Usability of security and privacy technologies in the context of the
IoT.

Submission Guidelines:
----------------------

Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready 
format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via EDAS 
(http://edas.info/) as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11-inch paper). The
manuscripts should be no longer than 5 pages. One additional page is 
permitted if the authors are willing to pay an over-length charge at the
time of publication (manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages). Submitted 
papers cannot have been previously published in or be under consideration
for publication in another journal or conference. The workshop Program
Committee reserves the right to not review papers that either exceed the
length specification or have been submitted or published elsewhere. 
Submissions must include a title, abstract, keywords, author(s) and 
affiliation(s) with postal and e-mail address(es). A paper abstract must
be registered on EDAS by the deadline.

Submitted papers will be reviewed by the workshop Program Committee and
judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of
presentation. An accepted paper must be presented at the ICCCN 2012 venue
by one of the authors registered at the full registration rate. Each 
workshop registration covers up to two workshop papers by an author. 
Accepted and registered papers will be published in proceedings that will
be available through Xplore. Papers that are not presented at the ICCCN
2012 venue by one of the registered co-authors will not appear in Xplore.
