The 7th Joint Workshop on
CPS & IoT Security and Privacy

In conjunction with the
ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security 2025

Background

The Joint Workshop on CPS&IoT Security and Privacy (CPSIoTSec) is the result of the merger of the Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security and Privacy (CPS-SPC) and Workshop on the Internet of Things Security and Privacy (IoTS&P) previously organized annually in conjunction with ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security.

Scope

The Workshop on CPS&IoT Security and Privacy (CPSIoTSec 2025) invites academia, industry, and governmental entities to submit:

We seek submissions from multiple interdisciplinary backgrounds tackling security and privacy issues in CPS&IoT, including but not limited to:

Also of interest will be papers that can point the research community to new research directions, and those that can set research agendas and priorities in CPS/IoT security and privacy. There will be a best paper award.

Submission Guidelines

Submissions include long papers (12 pages), short papers (6 pages), or 1-page abstracts:

Submitted papers can be up to 12 or 6 pages excluding appendices and references, and should provide enough details to enable reproducibility. All submitted papers must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references, for double blind reviews. Submissions must use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (see https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template, with a simpler version here: https://github.com/acmccs/format). Only PDF files will be accepted.

Accepted papers will be published by the ACM Press and/or the ACM Digital Library. We expect all authors to consider diversity and inclusion, especially when preparing their own submission (see https://www.acm.org/diversity-inclusion/about). Submissions must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Each accepted paper must be presented by a registered author. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk immediate rejection. For questions about these policies, please contact the chairs.

Keynote

Keynote: Daniel Xiapu Luo
Title: The Road Less Hacked: Enhancing Security in Automotive Systems
Abstract: As vehicles transform into complex, interconnected systems, cybersecurity emerges as a paramount concern. This presentation will begin with an examination of the current automotive attack surfaces, exploring how modern vehicles, equipped with advanced connectivity features, are increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats. Following this, we will introduce our recent studies on identifying vulnerabilities in critical automotive components and the design of defense mechanisms.
