Background:
The Joint Workshop on CPS&IoT Security and Privacy (CPSIoTSec) is the result of the merger of the Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security and Privacy (CPS-SPC) and Workshop on the Internet of Things Security and Privacy (IoTS&P), previously organized annually in conjunction with the ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security.

Scope:
The Workshop on CPS&IoT Security and Privacy (CPSIoTSec 2026) invites academia, industry, and governmental entities to submit:

Original research papers on the security and privacy of CPS&IoT
Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) papers on the security and privacy of CPS&IoT
Demos (hands-on or videos) of testbeds/experiences of CPS&IoT security and privacy research
We seek submissions from multiple interdisciplinary backgrounds tackling security and privacy issues in CPS&IoT, including but not limited to:

AI/ML for CPS and IoT security
Control-theoretic approaches
CPS/IoT malware analysis
CPS/IoT firmware analysis
Economics of security and privacy
Game theory applied to CPS/IoT security
Hardware-assisted CPS/IoT security
High assurance security architectures
Human factors, humans in the loop, and usable security
Identity and access management
Intrusion and anomaly detection
Mathematical foundations for secure CPS/IoT
Metrics and risk assessment approaches
Model-based security systems engineering
Network security
Privacy and trust
Security and privacy of AI integrations in CPS/IoT
Security and resilience metrics
Sensor and actuator attacks
Understanding dependencies among security, reliability, and safety in CPS/IoT

Also of interest will be papers that point the research community to new research directions and that set research agendas and priorities in CPS/IoT security and privacy. There will be a best paper award.

Submission Guidelines:
Submissions include long papers (12 pages), short papers (6 pages), or 1-page abstracts:

Long papers include a) Original research on a CPS/IoT security and privacy topic, b) Systematization of Knowledge of CPS/IoT security and privacy.
Short papers include original work-in-progress research on a CPS/IoT security and privacy topic.
1-page abstracts include demos/interesting findings/insights on CPS/IoT security and privacy, with a hands-on demo accompanying the workshop.

Submitted papers can be up to 12 or 6 pages excluding appendices and references, and should provide enough details to enable reproducibility. All submitted papers must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references, for double blind reviews. Submissions must use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (see https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template; a simpler version is available here: https://github.com/acmccs/format). Only PDF files will be accepted.

Accepted papers will be published by the ACM Press and/or the ACM Digital Library. We expect all authors to consider diversity and inclusion, especially when preparing their own submission (see https://www.acm.org/diversity-inclusion/about). Submissions must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. A registered author must present each accepted paper. Submissions that do not meet these guidelines risk immediate rejection. For questions about these policies, please contact the chairs.
