Mal-IoT 2018 - 2018 International Workshop on Malicious Software and Hardware in the Internet of Things

Cyber-physical and smart embedded systems, already highly networked, will be even more connected in the near future to form the Internet of Things, handling large amount of private and safety critical data. The pervasive diffusion of these devices will create several threats to privacy and could open new possibilities for attackers, since the security of even large portions of the Internet of Things could be harmed by compromising a reduced number of components. The possibility of securely updating devices should be guaranteed and it should be possible to verify and assert the root of trust of components. With respect to this context we expect contributions in different areas of security in Internet of Things. Topics of the workshop include but are not limit to:
Malicious firmware design and detection
Malware in Internet of Things applications
Hardware root of trust
Privacy issues of smart-home systems and complex systems
Hardware Trojans and their effects on systems
Hardware authentication and IP protection
Secure communication and key-management
Implementation attacks and countermeasures
Emerging threats and attack vectors in the Internet of Things
Supply chain security
