Workshop on Security and Privacy in Standardized IoT (SDIoTSec) 2025

Consumers increasingly rely on IoT products to manage essential aspects of daily life, including home safety, health, recreation, and personal convenience. Design and implementation practices of IoT devices are known to be heterogeneous, with vendor-specific protocols, designs and developments for device access, communication, and security management. This diversity poses significant challenges to both IoT security and consumer usability. In response, the emergence of IoT standards aims to address these issues. Notable examples include the Matter open-source project, a major industry collaboration that provides a unified standard for IoT design and implementation, simplifying development for manufacturers and enhancing device compatibility for consumers. Additionally, the IoT Labeling Program of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) seeks to establish security standards for manufacturers.

Any security and privacy problems in IoT standards and standardized IoT practices can be easily inherited by real IoT products of many manufacturers. This workshop aims to promote research that investigates and evaluates the foundational role of IoT design standards and their implementations (open-source and closed source) for the security, privacy, and trustworthiness of IoT systems. The IoT industry, open-source community and academia are expected to develop and apply practical, rigorous security and privacy measures to ensure that IoT standards and standardization processes are both well-designed and properly implemented.
