2017 Tyrrhenian International Workshop on Digital Communications

Over the past decade, the Internet evolution has been characterized by the proliferation of mobile smartphones as dominant devices for accessing the network, and by the impressive growth of connected objects with sensing and actuation capabilities within the paradigm of the Internet of Things in different application domains, such as critical manufacturing, emergency services, energy, financial services, healthcare and public health, information technologies, and transportation systems. The proliferation of data and connections are creating new opportunities to leverage knowledge and to manage systems in innovative ways, but are also introducing new risks due to the increased interactions between entities, in particular in the context of Critical Infrastructures. This leads to a variety of conflicting requirements and technical challenges for the Future Internet: on one side, it is required to improve the mechanisms to retrieve information, distribute contents and manage knowledge; on the other side, it is essential to deal with data protection, privacy, and access control.

The goal of TIWDC-2017 is to investigate emerging paradigms and solutions for the design of a Smart and Secure Future Internet. Contributions are solicited on all advanced research issues in these context, and particularly (but not limited to) on the following topics:

Secure Future Internet
•    Attack detection and prevention
•    Authentication protocols
•    Biometric systems
•    Cloud, data center and distributed systems security
•    Computer and network forensics

•    Internet security and privacy
•    Intrusions Detection Systems
•    Malware detection
•    Multimedia forensics
•    Network security
•    Physical layer security
•    Secure services and systems
•    Security and privacy for wireless networks
•    Web security

Smart Future Internet
•    Cloud-  and fog- based networking
•    Future Internet networking architectures
