The 5th International Workshop on Secure Smart Societies in Next Generation
Networks (SECSOC-2023) will be held in conjunction with The 13th EAI
International Conference on Big Data Technologies and Applications (EAI
BDTA 2023) in Edinburgh, the United Kingdom. The focus of this
international workshop is to bring together expertise from industry and
academia to build a secure smart society in next-generation networking
paradigm. It solicits papers for presenting novel schemes to enhance the
reliability, robustness, and privacy of the smart society that is
constructed upon the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS).


== Submission Guidelines ==

- Papers should be in English.
- Previously published work may not be submitted, nor may the work be
concurrently submitted to any other conference or journal. Such papers will
be rejected without review.
- The paper submissions must follow the Springer formatting guidelines (see
Author’s kit section on
https://infoscale.eai-conferences.org/2023/submission/).
- Read the Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement.

Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply
with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section).

- Papers should be 12 - 15 pages in length.

== Objectives, Scope, and Topics ==

Big data collected from numerous CPS, connected via the advanced 5G and the
future 6G networks across various interfaces and locations, will facilitate
more sophisticated Smart Decision Making and Personalised Services.
Security vulnerabilities in CPS, however, leave users or even the entire
smart society at risk. Besides, a rapid on-going evolution in the technical
architectures and topologies of the Internet brings new security challenges
to the fore. The migration of networks to Software-Defined Networking and
Network Functions Virtualization, particularly, captures attention on the
security of orchestration, management functionality, surveillance as well
as privacy. Novel security schemes are, therefore, in urgent demand to
enhance the reliability, robustness, and privacy of a smart society. It is
critical to understand the potential security vulnerabilities and threat
models, as well as to develop security architectures and defending
mechanisms for CPS and the next-generation network infrastructures.

The topics of interest may include but are not limited to the following:
  Security and privacy of CPS including IoT
   Threat Models in CPS
   Attack Strategies for CPS
   Security Architectures
   Reliable Interactions with Network Services
   System and Data Integrity
   Scalability and Robustness for CPS
   Identity Management in CPS
   Trustworthiness in CPS
   Privacy in CPSAdaptive Security in CPS
   Secure CPS interactions
   Secure CPS architecture design
  Secure 5G/6G networks
   Core Network Security
   Cellular security
   Physical Layer Security
   Terminal and Edge Computing Security
   Security Management and Orchestration of NFV and SDN elements
   Trusted Computing with NFV and SDN
   Protocol security: Diameter, SS7, BGP etc.
   5G/6G wireless communications
  General network security schemes for next-generation networking
   Malware and attack detection and prevention techniques
   Authentication and Authorisation
   Encryption protocols, e.g. homomorphic encryption
   Key Exchange, Storage and Protection
   Honeypot and Firewall Technologies
   Software vulnerability testing, or reverse engineering.
   Formal Specification and Analysis of Protocols and Attacks, e.g. model
checking etc.
   Blockchain technologies
   Cloud computing
