As the technologies of edge computing continue to advance, new security and privacy challenges and opportunities emerge, leading to the flourishing research on and fast development of various security solutions. The aim of this workshop is to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to present advances in security and privacy enhancing technologies in the emerging field of edge computing. The workshop will be co-located with the Fifth ACM/IEEE Symposium on Edge Computing (SEC), November 13, 2020, in San Jose, CA, USA.

We invite authors to submit previously unpublished papers offering novel research contributions addressing security and privacy issues in edge computing. Topics include, but are not limited to:

Anonymity
Attacks and defenses
Authentication
Side-channel attacks and defenses for edge computing
Intrusion detection and prevention
Key Management for edge computing
Mobile and Web security and privacy
IoT security and privacy on edge computing
Network and systems security
Privacy technologies and mechanisms
Protocol security
Secure information flow
Security and privacy metrics
Security and privacy policies
Security architectures
Security in content delivery
Usable security and privacy

All papers presented at the workshop will be included in the IEEE Digital Library. Extended versions of accepted papers will be recommended for publication in the first issue of Elsevier High-Confidence Computing 2021.
