The upcoming 6G network, featuring Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) as a novel technology, streamlines processes by utilizing a single radio signal for both data transmission and sensing, thereby reducing complexity and costs while opening doors to diverse use cases. While ISAC promises numerous advantages, it also poses significant security and privacy concerns due to the sensitive nature of sensing data containing personally identifiable information. ISAC-based applications are susceptible to security threats like eavesdropping and spoofing, as well as privacy breaches such as identity and attribute disclosures, including location tracking. These challenges underscore the critical need for robust security measures and privacy safeguards in ISAC-enabled environments. Addressing these concerns is essential to ensure the responsible and ethical deployment of ISAC technologies in future communication systems.
The interdisciplinary workshop aims to delve into the security and privacy challenges as well as opportunities arising due to the introduction of ISAC into 6G networks, seeking viable solutions to address them. Furthermore, emphasis is placed on necessary adaptations in deployment practices and the development of next-generation equipment to comply with data privacy regulations. We seek original work not currently under review by any other journal/ magazine/conference. Both research and opinion papers are welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Authors are invited to submit original contributions that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers should be prepared using the IEEE 2-column conference style and are limited to 6 pages including references.
They must be submitted electronically in PDF format through EDAS at: https://edas.info/N32595
Papers exceeding page limits, multiple submissions, and self-plagiarized papers will be rejected without further review. All other papers will sustain a thorough single-blind review process.
To be published in the 6GNet 2024 Conference Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the Workshop at the Full Author rate and the paper must be presented in person by one registered co-author.
