****CALL FOR PAPERS****

*International Journal of Internet of Things and Cyber-Assurance (IJITCA)*

**Journal 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
and 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-Hacking and the IoT:*

   - Cyber-threats towards the IoT
   - Automated IoT vulnerability identification
   - IoT penetration testing methodologies
   - IoT detection and intrusion methodologies
   - IoT incident handling/response methodologies
   - IoT digital forensics techniques
   - IoT secure-by-design systems
   - IoT attack strategies

*IoT Wireless Information Assurance and Communications:*

   - Research on automated IoT vulnerability assessments
   - Genetic algorithms used to spawn and control intelligent agents for
   IoT devices
   - Information hiding in IoT images and text (steganography)
   - Key distribution and security in an IoT network
   - Wireless IoT network management and visualization tools

*Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) for the IoT:*

   - Synchronized cyber-attacks against the Smart Grid and/or SCADA systems
   - Modeling framework for CPS under cyber-attacks
   - Optimal network clustering for distributed procedures in CPS
   - SCADA testbeds for CPS
   - Secure CPS designs

*IoT Radio Frequency (RF) Signal Processing:*

   - IoT radar component technology
   - IoT RF extraction/avoidance techniques
   - IoT discrete RF event dynamical systems
   - Optimization of IoT RF algorithm codes
