*** [Apologies for Multiple Emails] ***

Welcome to the Ninth International Workshop on Security, Privacy, and Trust in the Internet of Things (SPT-IoT), located with IEEE PerCom 2026, Pisa, Italy, March 16-20, 2026.

The workshop aims to provide a forum that brings together researchers from academia as well as practitioners from industry, standardization bodies, and government to meet and exchange ideas on recent research and future directions for the pervasive computing with a specific focus on IoT security, privacy, and trust. The technical discussion will be focused on the communications and network security aspects of IoT and the key enabling technologies for IoT, especially M2M communications and networking, RFID technology and Near Field Communications (NFC), the challenges to security, privacy and trust presented and novel approaches to solving these challenges. The workshop will be held in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2026 one of the premier annual scholarly venues in pervasive computing and communications. Workshop papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE digital libraries (IEEE Xplore).

*** Important Notification: Workshop Paper Submission Deadline November 17th 2025 ***

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers (up to 6 pages in length) electronically through the EasyChair system using the standard IEEE template for conference papers. Papers must be original material not currently under review by another conference or journal. All submitted papers will be subject to multiple independent peer reviews. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. This year SPT-IoT will be a physical in-person workshop. All accepted and registered papers will be published by the IEEE Press and will appear in the Conference Proceedings and on IEEE Xplore. During the initial paper submission process via EDAS, it is the authors' responsibility to ensure that the author list (the order of authors) and the paper title of the submitted .pdf file is an exact match to the author list (the order of authors) and paper title on the EDAS registration page. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of six (6) pages in the IEEE template (available here: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html).

The IEEE Percom workshop on Security, Privacy and Trust for IoT aims to provide a forum that brings together researchers from academia as well as practitioners from industry, standardization bodies, and government to meet and exchange ideas on recent research and future directions for the IoT with a specific focus on IoT security, privacy and trust. The technical discussion will be focused on the communications and network security aspects of IoT and the key enabling technologies for IoT, especially M2M communications and networking, RFID technology and Near Field Communications (NFC). The workshop will foster an opportunity to bring together relevant stakeholders to identify challenges to security, privacy and trust, and novel approaches to solving these. All workshop papers require a full author registration at the main conference rate. The technical topics of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to:
IoT Fuzzing and Software vulnerability discovery in IoT and smart objects
IoT secure access network technologies and capillary networks
IoT secure network infrastructures
IoT security protocols and IoT networking and communication security
Methods for secure by design IoT
Methods for IoT security analysis and audit
Identity, access management and biometrics in IoT
Security of big data in IoT
Privacy and anonymization techniques in IoT
Cyber physical systems security
Circuit and system design for secure "Things"
Secure firmware and secure firmware update techniques for "Things"
Secure cloud of “Things”
Trust management architectures in pervasive IoT applications
Security in pervasive and ubiquitous computing including smart objects
Secure sensing, smart transportation, smart grid systems
Crypto for embedded platforms (implementations optimized for performance)
IoT security for industry 4.0, supply chain and blockchain
Hardware security primitives and lightweight security solutions
Secure pervasive/ubiquitous computing software and systems
Digital forensics in IoT
Ethics and legal considerations in IoT including liability and policy enforcement
