IOT 2015 - Special Issue IOT and Security 2015

By 2020 various estimates put the number of "things" on the Internet at 26-30 billion. These networked things will be found in every facet of our lives. This is in addition to the SCADA systems that are so critical for functioning of modern civilization. In the excitement of creating these new systems, it seems clear that not enough attention is being paid to cybersecurity of the IOT and SCADA systems. In particular, this aspect of cybersecurity is not addressed in most cybersecurity programs. This is most unfortunate since it is widely believed that these new systems are less secure than the traditional networked systems. It is also clear that vulnerabilities in the IOT and SCADA systems can be exploited to produce vulnerabilities in traditional systems. Therefore, this special issue aims to an international platform for the discussion of IOT and SCADA cybersecurity education.
SCOPE:
This special issue will focus on the state of IOT and SCADA Cybersecurity Education. Of special interest are determining which institutions are active in these areas and how people interested in bringing these topics into their cybersecurity curriculum should proceed. We invite contributions that look at all aspects of the cybersecurity of the Internet of Things and SCADA systems. This includes such devices as ATMs, home and automobile control systems, and medical devices as well as the traditional systems such as power grids, pipelines and water systems.
