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:
- Original research papers on the security and privacy of CPS&IoT
- Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) papers on the security and privacy of CPS&IoT
- Demos (hands-on or videos) of testbeds/experiences of CPS&IoT security and privacy research
We seek submissions from multiple interdisciplinary backgrounds tackling security and privacy issues in CPS&IoT, including but not limited to:
- AI/ML for CPS and IoT security
- Control-theoretic approaches
- CPS/IoT malware analysis
- CPS/IoT firmware analysis
- Economics of security and privacy
- Game theory applied to CPS/IoT security
- Hardware-assisted CPS/IoT security
- High assurance security architectures
- Human factors, humans in the loop, and usable security
- Identity and access management
- Intrusion and anomaly detection
- Mathematical foundations for secure CPS/IoT
- Metrics and risk assessment approaches
- Model-based security systems engineering
- Network security
- Privacy and trust
- Security and privacy of AI integrations in CPS/IoT
- Security and resilience metrics
- Sensor and actuator attacks
- Understanding dependencies among security, reliability and safety in CPS/IoT
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:
- Long papers include a) Original research on a CPS/IoT security and privacy topic, b) Systematization of Knowledge of CPS/IoT security and privacy;
- Short papers include original work-in-progress research on a CPS/IoT security and privacy topic;
- 1-page abstracts include demos/interesting findings/insights on CPS/IoT security and privacy, which will be accompanied by a hands-on demo during the workshop.
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.
