Special Session on Cybersecurity Issues of IoT in Ambient Intelligence (AmI) Environment (2nd Edition)
Track ID: Spes-02
Description
Over the years, the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) has come to dominate several areas, e.g., improving our lives, offering us convenience, and reshaping our daily work circumstances. Ambient intelligence (AmI) refers to the ability of devices to interact seamlessly with their surroundings. The increased use of IoT in ambient intelligence has led to a heightened concern for cybersecurity. Hackers could exploit vulnerabilities in the software or firmware of IoT devices to gain control of the devices or the networks they are connected to. They could also use ambient intelligence systems to collect sensitive data from IoT devices. In order to protect these devices, it’s essential to understand the various types of attacks that are possible and deploy appropriate security measures. In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has got a lot of attention, especially for the success of deep learning in addressing problems that were considered problematic before.
Topics of Interest
The proposed special session provides a forum for bringing together researchers from academia and industry to explore and present their findings in Artificial Intelligence, cybersecurity issues of IoT, and AmI. The participants are encouraged to discuss the theories, systems, technologies, and approaches for testing and validating them on challenging real-world, safety-critical applications. Thus, suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following points:
-
Formal security and resilience analysis on AI.
- IoT security, trust, and trustworthy
- Secure and privacy-preserving IoT communications
- Cognitive models and bio-inspired AI.
- AI-assisted critical infrastructure security.
- Applied cryptography for IoT and AmI.
- Security and privacy of AmI.
- Applications of formal methods to IoT and AmI security.
- Blockchain for trustworthy AmI-based applications.
- IoT and embedded systems security.
- Cyber threat intelligence for IoT and AmI.
- Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning for IoT.
- Federated learning for IoT networks.
