Inaugural Symposium on Vehicle Security and Privacy (VehicleSec 2023)

Co-located with NDSS Symposium 2023, San Diego, CA (Hybrid)

The Inaugural Symposium on Vehicle Security and Privacy (VehicleSec 2023) is built upon the continuous four-year growth of the AutoSec (Automotive and Autonomous Vehicle Security) Workshop with the NDSS Symposium. This brand new symposium aims at bringing together an audience of university researchers, scientists, industry professionals, and government representatives to contribute new theories, technologies, and systems on any security/privacy issues related to vehicles (e.g., ground, aerial, underwater, space), their sub-systems (e.g., in-vehicle networks, autonomy, connectivity, human-machine interfaces), supporting infrastructures (e.g., transportation infrastructure, charging station, ground control station), and related fundamental technologies (e.g., sensing, control, AI/ML/DNN, real-time computing, edge computing, location service, simulation, digital twin, multi-agent protocol/system design, and human-machine interaction).

VehicleSec 2023 will be a hybrid event, co-located with the Network and Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS) 2023. Besides the main program, VehicleSec will feature a Demo/Poster session, a Lightning Talk session, and a Community Reception. VehicleSec will also provide various cash-prized paper/demo/poster awards and VehicleSec Student Travel Grants (more details soon).
