This book, written by leaders in the protection field of critical infrastructures, provides an extended overview of the technological and operative advantages together with the security problems and challenges of the new paradigm of the Internet of Things in today’s industry, also known as the Industry Internet of Things (IIoT). 

The incorporation of the new embedded technologies and the interconnected networking advances in the automation and monitoring processes, certainly multiplies the functional complexities of the underlying control system, whilst increasing security and privacy risks. The critical nature of the application context and its relevance for the well-being of citizens and their economy, attracts the attention of multiple, advanced attackers, with stealthy abilities to evade security policies, ex-filter information or exploit vulnerabilities. Some real-life events and registers in CERTs have already clearly demonstrated how the control industry can becomevulnerable to multiple types of advanced threats whose focus consists in hitting the safety and security of the control processes. 

This book, therefore, comprises a detailed spectrum of research papers with highly analytical content and actuation procedures to cover the relevant security and privacy issues such as data protection, awareness, response and resilience, all of them working at optimal times. Readers will be able to comprehend the construction problems of the fourth industrial revolution and are introduced to effective, lightweight protection solutions which can be integrated as part of the new IIoT-based monitoring ecosystem.

The 34 revised full papers presented in the book were carefully selected from 150 submissions

The papers are organized around the following topics: Cryptography, Authentication, Privacy and Anonymity, Attacks and Vulnerability Analysis, Artificial Intelligence for Detection, and Network Security and Forensics.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the satellite workshops held around the 20th International Conference on Applied Cryptography and Network Security, ACNS 2022, held in Rome, Italy, in June 2022. Due to the Corona pandemic the workshop was held as a virtual event. 

The 31 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 52 submissions. They stem from the following workshops:

– AIHWS: 3rd ACNS Workshop on Artificial Intelligence in Hardware Security

– AIoTS: 4th ACNS Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Industrial IoT Security

– CIMSS: 2nd ACNS Workshop on Critical Infrastructure and Manufacturing System Security

– Cloud S&P: 4th ACNS Workshop on Cloud Security and Privacy
