1st International Workshop on Malicious Software and Hardware in the Internet of Things, Como, Italien

Aim and Scope:<br>Cyber&#8211;physical and smart embedded systems, already highly networked, will be even more connected in<br>the near future to form the Internet of Things, handling large amount of private and safety critical data&#046;<br>The pervasive diffusion of these devices will create several threats to privacy and could open new<br>possibilities for attackers, since the security of even large portions of the Internet of Things could be<br>harmed by compromising a reduced number of components&#046; The possibility of securely updating devices<br>should be guaranteed and it should be possible to verify and assert the root of trust of components&#046; With<br>respect to this context we expect contributions in different areas of security in the Internet of Things&#046;<br>Topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:<br>* Malicious firmware design and detection<br>* Malware in Internet of Things applications<br>* Hardware root of trust<br>* Privacy issues of smart&#8211;home systems and complex systems<br>* Hardware Trojans and their effects on systems<br>* Hardware authentication and IP protection<br>* Secure communication and key management<br>* Implementation attacks and countermeasures<br>* Emerging threats and attack vectors in the Internet of Things<br>* Supply chain security<br>
