[CFP] SI on Security of Emerging Virtual Environments: Metaverse and Extended Reality- Ad Hoc Networks
by Ons Bouachir 06 Feb '23

06 Feb '23

*Ad Hoc Networks* *Security of Emerging Virtual Environments:* * Metaverse and Extended Reality* ***Submissions are due:* March 31st, 2023**** https://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/security-… *We encourage early submission* The real world is surrounded by people, buildings, hospitals, factories, businesses, vehicles, cognitive cities, and the billions of devices that provide various services and connect us and this world. Various advanced technologies including AR, VR, XR, and the Digital Twin provide advanced solutions to create a new virtual world (aka, Metaverse) where the avatars of the users can interact with 3D objects as in the real life. Metaverse is a virtual world of Digital Twins and NFTs. Such technologies provide a wide range of new services that require the collection of various types of data about real objects, users including their biometric information (e.g., eyes or voice fingerprints, etc.), and the surrounding environment (e.g., weather, traffic flow, etc.). The collected data can be used for identifying the various users, sharing their characteristics, or capturing their interaction with the environment to provide a unique immersive experience in the 3D virtual world. Furthermore, each realistic object modeled in the virtual environment should rely on the status of its physical twin including interactions and relations between everything else. As a result, a wide range of new services and applications will be provided connecting events in the virtual and the real worlds and causing more complex interactions. The huge amount of collected data in the virtual and the real worlds sets heavy challenges on the networking and computing systems as such technologies have strict boundaries related to the security and privacy of the gathered data. Moreover, the wireless communication between mobile devices that generate data streams and the mobility of physical devices make the related issues more difficult to address. Indeed, these challenges increase with the complexity of the used technologies as new advanced attacks can be designed allowing for the exploitation of the collected data such as creating multiple fake avatars. The purpose of this special issue is to elaborate on and emphasize the key aspects to secure emerging virtual environments that rely on wireless communication. It welcomes original research and innovative solutions on the above subjects as well as case studies that explore the potential exploitation of data security, privacy, and trust in the Metaverse. Research may cover and focus on either the fundamental methodological studies or the use case and application demonstrations. Topics of interest include, but are certainly not limited to: ● Blockchain assisted the metaverse ● Blockchain for the Digital Twin ● Edge computing for the Internet of Metaverse ● Network security of the metaverse ● Digital Twin and Metaverse privacy ● Consensus and mining algorithms suited for the metaverse ● Blockchain-based controlled mobility and QoS in the metaverse ● Cybersecurity in the metaverse ● Cybersecurity in XR-based applications ● Trust, Security, and Privacy in the metaverse application ● Trusted Zero-touch networks for the metaverse ● Trusted software and applications for the metaverse ● Digital Identification and authentication mechanisms ● Intrusion detection and prevention in the emerging virtual environments ● Secure mobile ad-hoc network for the metaverse *Guest editors:* ● Moayad Aloqaily, Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, UAE. ● Ouns Bouachir, Zayed University, UAE. ● Lewis Tseng, Boston College, USA. ● Giancarlo Fortino, University of Calabria, Italy.

You are cordially invited to join the free live stream on youtube and LinkedIn! Please share the link https://talk.cybercni.fr/26 with your interested friends! Trailer: https://youtu.be/vIyJA3EKJ0M LinkedIN Event: https://www.linkedin.com/video/event/urn:li:ugcPost:7018524857814417409/ Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/690341442732802/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk91D-vdvyk&list=PLdftPKA9mTfaDJxqwexil2mPh… Stream redirect (for every edition): https://TALK.cyberCNI.fr/stream Newsletter with invitations: Subscription on https://TALK.cyberCNI.fr Abstract Data protection is a key topics for many organizations and yet many of them often struggle to deploy a comprehensive strategy to protect their assets. In that talk we will get a holistic view of what it means when deploying information system on AWS. We will cover all the relevant area from compliance to European Regulation and data localization to memory encryption and confidential computing. By lowering the entry bar, we will understand how AWS is changing the game when it comes down to information security and how key security concepts like “security by design” and “0-trust” or “self-healing” system are now a reality in the cloud. Watch the trailer here: https://youtu.be/vIyJA3EKJ0M Guillaume Neau Guillaume is a Sr. Solutions Architect with a specialization in information security and work for Amazon Web Service in France. In his day-to-day job Guillaume’s advises customer about their information technology and security strategy as well as partner with operational team to design scalable, resilient and secure information systems. Guillaume is passioned about information technology for the positive impact it can have on people lives and the societal changes that it drives. Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) is a subsidiary of Amazon that provides on-demand cloud computing platforms and APIs to individuals, companies, and governments, on a metered pay-as-you-go basis. These cloud computing web services provide distributed computing processing capacity and software tools via AWS server farms. One of these services is Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), which allows users to have at their disposal a virtual cluster of computers, available all the time, through the Internet. AWS’s virtual computers emulate most of the attributes of a real computer, including hardware central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs) for processing; local/RAM memory; hard-disk/SSD storage; a choice of operating systems; networking; and pre-loaded application software such as web servers, databases, and customer relationship management (CRM). AWS services are delivered to customers via a network of AWS server farms located throughout the world. Fees are based on a combination of usage (known as a “Pay-as-you-go” model), hardware, operating system, software, or networking features chosen by the subscriber required availability, redundancy, security, and service options. Subscribers can pay for a single virtual AWS computer, a dedicated physical computer, or clusters of either. Amazon provides select portions of security for subscribers (e.g. physical security of the data centers) while other aspects of security are the responsibility of the subscriber (e.g. account management, vulnerability scanning, patching). AWS operates from many global geographical regions including seven in North America. Amazon markets AWS to subscribers as a way of obtaining large-scale computing capacity more quickly and cheaply than building an actual physical server farm.All services are billed based on usage, but each service measures usage in varying ways. As of 2021 Q4, AWS has 33% market share for cloud infrastructure while the next two competitors Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud have 21%, and 10% respectively, according to Synergy Group. Talk.cybercni.fr The Cyber CNI Lecture Series is a free monthly event that typically takes place on the last Wednesday of the month from 2pm to 3h30pm CET. The event consists of a 45-minute expert presentation followed by a 45-minute discussion. The Cyber CNI Speaker series aims to raise awareness and understanding of cyber security issues among all audiences. It aims to enable an ongoing dialogue between experts from industry and academia and the general public (citizens, families, small and large businesses, public organizations, etc.). All of us are concerned. The events are broadcast live on Youtube (https://talk.cybercni.fr/) and LinkedIn, allowing worldwide remote participation – including a tool to participate in the discussion. You can add the event calendar via ICS, webcal, HTML. How the digital transformation is changing our lives The COVID-19 pandemic has shown all of us the benefits of information technology. It allows us to work at a distance, to live at a distance, and most importantly, to keep in touch at a distance – with younger and older people, those closest to us, and even make new contacts. Our society relies more and more on information and operational technologies. Examples include water, energy, heat and cooling supply, communications, healthcare, production and processing of goods, transportation, national security, banking, research and education, and food production. What all these areas have in common is that they make intensive use of networked distributed computer systems. These systems can be attacked in many ways. This is no longer just a problem for computer “pros” because computer systems are essential to all of us. The effects of “cyber-attacks” range from power outages to the collapse of the health care or banking sectors. Program and registration: https://talk.cybercni.fr/
