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
