Dear Colleague,

submission deadline to the special issue on Security and Privacy for Connected Cyber-Physical Systems, to appear in the ACM Transactions on Cyber-Physical Systems (TCPS) is approaching.

https://tcps.acm.org/special_issue_security_privacy.cfm

I would like to invite you to submit your contribution.

Short information for contributors:

This special issue focuses on security & privacy aspects of emerging trends and applications involving Machine-to-Machine Cyber Physical Systems (M2M CPSs) in both generic and specific domain of interests, such as, but not limited to, Safety-Critical Infrastructures, Autonomous Systems, Smart Cities, Intelligent Vehicles, Smart-Health, etc. We invite original research articles proposing innovative solutions to improve IoT security and privacy, taking into account the low resource characteristics of CPS components, the distributed nature of CPSs, and connectivity constraints of IoT devices.

Aims and Scopes:

Special topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

•  Machine learning-enabled security solutions for M2M CPS

•  Blockchain-based privacy and security solutions for M2M CPS

•  Trusted and verifiable computation in CPS devices

•  Attestation of IoT devices and IoT swarms

•  M2M CPS digital forensic

•  Privacy preserving and Secure Multiparty Computation applications for M2M CPS

•  Lightweight secure protocol for CPS
