6th IEEE International Symposium on Measurements and Networking (M&N2022)
Special Session on SECURITY AND PRIVACY IN CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEMS
Padova, Italy, July 18-20, 2022.

Session Description
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) provide an interface between the operation and information technologies. This type of networks find application in many domains, such as cars, industrial networks, Internet of Things, smart grids, and drones. As data exchanged via information technology may impact the physical world, safety and security are strictly related in CPS. For instance, a malicious attack to a car’s network may cause a road accident, hence impacting on the driver’s safety. Therefore, it is fundamental to provide secure solutions against cyberattacks in CPS. Among the other challenges, providing coherence between the physical and digital information is particularly hard. The scope of this special session is to bring together experts in the measurement and networking fields to deeply connect the operation and information technologies and provide secure solutions for CPS.

Topics of interest in this special session include the following (but are not limited to):

Cyber-physical threat modelling and analysis
Side channel attacks and solutions in CPS
Attacks towards CPS
Privacy issues in CPS
Countermeasures against attacks to CPS
Low complexity security solutions for CPS
Scalability issues in secure CPS
Integrity and coherence of cyber and physical information

About the conference and the venue
IEEE M&N 2022 will be held in Padua, Italy. The Organizing Committee of M&N 2022 is working to warrant an in-presence event. The Conference Venue offers wide spaces for oral and poster sessions, and for coffee break, lunch and exhibitor areas, that allow to comply with any distancing requirement, should restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic still be in force. Thus we hope you could attend in person the Symposium, nevertheless, since the COVID-19 pandemic could remain active worldwide for several months and bring troubles for travelers coming from other countries, the organizing committee will check the possibility to attend the Symposium also remotely. In such cases, authors and participants who will have travel restrictions or other inconveniences due to the pandemic could participate virtually (at a reduced fee).
