The third workshop on Automotive Cyber Security (ACSW) will be organized in conjunction with IEEE EuroS&P 2024. The workshop will take place on July 8, 2024 (pre-conference workshop) in Vienna, Austria. This edition of the workshop include keynote speakers, discussion panels, and tutorials. Please refer to the program page for the full details.

Call for Papers

Modern automotive systems are among the fastest evolving examples of Cyber-Physical Systems, where various vehicle features are implemented by embedded systems (powered by microcontrollers) with limited computational power and memory. These microcontrollers are interconnected through a variety of communication networks. Although the underlying communication protocols were designed to operate in the absence of external security threats, the adoption of external connectivity on modern vehicles paved the way for novel attack scenarios exploiting the vulnerabilities of in-vehicle protocols. While security researchers have proposed numerous novel security enhancements to address these vulnerabilities, the benefits in terms of industry knowledge, reliability, and cost-efficiency of legacy protocols have hindered the adoption of these modern solutions in mass-produced vehicles. Therefore, it is crucial to develop security solutions that are specifically tailored for established internal and external vehicle communication networks taking into account the constraints of automotive systems.

Aim & Scope

The goal of the Automotive Cyber Security Workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners, interested in all aspects of automotive systems security, to contribute with and discuss new advances in the field of automotive cybersecurity. The workshop aims to present recent advances in the state-of-the-art for cybersecurity of road vehicles, bringing together researchers and practitioners across all areas of computer security focusing on automotive systems.
All papers discussing security and privacy issues of modern vehicles are welcome for submission. ACSW particularly welcomes papers focusing on the security of communication networks found inside and outside the modern vehicles, on the privacy issues related to modern infotainment systems, and on the forensic analysis of modern vehicle components. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Autonomous Driving security and privacy
• Connected Autonomous Vehicles security and privacy
• Security and privacy of vehicular communication protocols
• Intrusion detection and prevention for automotive systems
• Vulnerability assessment and attack simulations of automotive systems
• Test and validation of security solutions
• Forensic analysis of automotive devices
• Reverse engineering of automotive components

For the first time in the history of the Automotive Cyber Security Workshop, authors are encouraged to submit also preliminary papers and short papers in the different tracks of the workshop as well as regular papers.
