The fourth workshop on Automotive Cyber Security (ACSW) will be organized in conjunction with IEEE EuroS&P 2025. The workshop will take place on TBA, 2025 in Venice, Italy. This edition of the workshop include keynote speakers, discussion panels, and tutorials.
Modern automotive systems are among the fastest evolving examples of Cyber-Physical Systems, where multiple 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 both the academic community and industry sector have developed numerous solutions to address these vulnerabilities, the delayed adoption of new security mechanisms in mass-produced vehicles and the ever-increasing number of reported vulnerabilities make modern cars more exposed than ever to security threats. Therefore, the development and adoption of practical security solutions specifically tailored for internal and external vehicle communication networks, adapted to the constraints of automotive systems, is crucial. Automotive security is especially important in the context of next generation vehicles which must comply with upcoming and newly introduced standards.
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:
