[CLOSED] Call for Papers: Securing Critical Infrastructure across Cyber and Physical Dimensions

IEEE Security & Privacy seeks submissions for this upcoming special issue.

Important Dates

Submissions Due: 5 December 2022

Publication: July/August 2023

From smart cities, to smart cars and smart manufacturing, we live in a fully connected world that relies on complex supply chains. To make matters worse, attacks against such cyber-physical critical infrastructure are evolving and expanding, while their disruption comes at a cost in terms of economic losses and even human-life losses.

This special issue of IEEE Security & Privacy is soliciting articles focusing on the research and practices for securing physical critical infrastructure. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Verification and validation techniques for cyber-physical systems security;

Design-centric approach for securing cyber-physical critical infrastructure;

Digital twins for cyber-physical systems -- scalable platforms for security validations for research, training, and operational environments;

Data-centric approaches for securing cyber-physical critical infrastructure;

Secure supply chains – covering multiple perspectives such as hardware, software, operational state;

Cyber-physical systems testbeds that provide realistic environments for security research and training.
