**Overview**
Cyber-assurance is the justified confidence that Internet of Things (IoT)
networked systems and devices are adequately secured to meet
operational needs, even in the presence of cyber-attacks, failures,
accidents and unexpected events. The IJITCA is looking to
increase the visibility of current research and emergent trends in
cyber-assurance for IoT networks, applications, architectures and
information security methods based on theoretical aspects and studies of
practical applications.The IJITCA will cover fundamental to advanced
topics necessary to grasp the IoT current cyber-assurance issues,
challenges and solutions as well as future trends in secure IoT devices
and networks. IoT devices and networks may range from hand-held mobile
devices to a centralized high performance cloud computing
environment consisting of heterogeneous communication systems of both
tactical (mobile, wireless) and fixed (wired) communications
infrastructures. From an information security perspective, the IoT must
address the delivery of authentic, accurate, secure, reliable, timely
information, regardless of threat conditions, over these distributed and
heterogeneous computing and communication systems.

**Research Topics**
Recommended research topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

-Cyber-threats towards the IoT
-Automated IoT vulnerability identification
-Genetic algorithms used to control intelligent agents for IoT devices
-Embedded security processors for IoT devices and networks
-Key distribution techniques in IoT networks
-Synchronized cyber-attacks and countermeasures against the Smart Grid
and/or SCADA systems
-Modeling frameworks for Cyber-Physical Systems under cyber-attacks
-Optimal network clustering for distributed procedures in Cyber-Physical
Systems
-Development  of design methods, architectures and implementations to
minimize IoT power dissipation
-Secure IoT radar component technology, including
wide-bandwidth/low-frequency antennas, high-power transmitters, etc.
-Secure design tools for integration radio frequency devices and
components, such as inductors, optics, processing chips, etc.
-Methodology and techniques to improve the quality of attack indications or
warnings for IoT Systems
-Secure 6LoWPAN signal processing for IoT systems
-Dynamics of distributed IoT networks using embedded sensors and actuators
-IoT IDS/IPS technologies and methodologies for secure data-in-transit and
data-at-rest processing
