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.

Program

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.
Bio: Professor in the Department of Computing, Associate Dean (Research) of the Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences, Co-Director of the Research Centre for Blockchain Technology, and Programme Leader of MSc in Blockchain Technology at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His research focuses on Mobile and IoT Security, Blockchain and Smart Contracts Security, Network Security and Privacy, and Software Engineering with papers published in top venues. His research led to more than ten best/distinguished paper awards, including ACM CCS'24 Distinguished Paper Award, four ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Awards, Best DeFi Papers Award 2023, Best Paper Award in INFOCOM'18, Best Research Paper Award in ISSRE'16, etc. and several awards from the industry. He received the BOCHK Science and Technology Innovation Prize (FinTech) 2023 for his contribution to blockchain security. He is an ACM Distinguished Member for his research in safeguarding blockchain and smart contracts along with Android and its applications. He also actively contributes to the community by participating in program/organization committees for major conferences in security, software engineering, and networking, and by serving as an associate editor for prestigious journals such as IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (ToN), IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing (TDSC), and ACM Transactions on Privacy and Security (TOPS). He is a member of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s CBDC Expert Group.
