Scope of the workshop
-----------------------
With the rise of autonomous technologies, drones and intelligent vehicles
are becoming an integral part of modern infrastructure, offering advancements
in transportation, logistics, surveillance, and emergency response. Drones and
intelligent vehicles rely on artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced wireless
communication (5G, Wi-Fi, satellite networks) to operate efficiently. However,
this growing interconnectivity also exposes them to significant cybersecurity
threats, including GPS spoofing, signal jamming, unauthorized control, and
data interception. Such attacks can compromise critical services, disrupt
operations, and even pose direct risks to public safety.

Securing these systems requires a holistic approach that addresses
vulnerabilities across all layers of their architecture, from embedded sensors
and AI-driven decision-making to real-time communication protocols and
cloud-based data processing. To counter emerging threats, researchers are
developing solutions such as resilient encryption techniques, AI-powered
intrusion detection, and blockchain-based security frameworks. However,
implementing these measures presents key challenges, including balancing
security with real-time performance, managing resource constraints in embedded
systems, and ensuring compliance with evolving regulatory standards.

This workshop aims to bring together experts in cybersecurity, AI, and
autonomous networks to explore cutting-edge strategies for safeguarding UAVs
and intelligent vehicles. Discussions will focus on securing the Internet of
Drones (IoD) and the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) by leveraging advanced
cryptographic methods, decentralized security models, and adaptive defense
mechanisms. By fostering collaboration among researchers, industry leaders, and
policymakers, SRC-DAV seeks to drive the development of resilient, secure, and
trustworthy autonomous systems.

This announcement solicits technical papers describing original, previously
unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal.
Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to issues on IoV and IoD security
systems. Contributions describing an overall working system are particularly of interest.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Secure communication protocols for drones and intelligent vehicles
- Wireless network security for vehicular and drone communications
- Zero Trust Architectures for UAV and Vehicular Networks
- Blockchain applications for authentication and data integrity in IoV and IoD
- Privacy and data protection in autonomous systems
- Energy-efficient security mechanisms for drones and intelligent vehicles
- Security of Drone-to-Drone (D2D) and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) Communications
- Anomaly detection and response strategies for IoV and IoD
- AI-driven intrusion detection and threat mitigation for drones and intelligent vehicles
- Ethical hacking and penetration testing for intelligent vehicles
- Security challenges in swarm drone technology
- Remote identity verification and access control for drones and vehicles
- Secure geofencing, trajectory obfuscation, and location privacy


Manuscript submissions
----------------------

Submissions may be regular papers or short papers. Submitted regular papers must
be up to 8 pages (US letter size, 8.5 X 11 inches) and short papers up to 4 pages
including text, figures and references. It should be in PDF format having a font size
no smaller than 10pt. Short papers should present future research directions, ongoing
work, visionary, innovative ideas. Further submission instructions could be found on the
workshop web site.

All accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of the NTMS'2025 conference.
