Call for papers

Moving Target Defense (MTD) is increasingly recognized as an effective strategy to protect systems against diverse threats. Initially developed as a security approach for networks, recent research has uncovered a wide range of applications for this philosophy. These include enhancing the cryptanalysis resistance of symmetric ciphers, mitigating side-channel attacks, and, more recently, designing protocols for privacy-preserving machine learning. This workshop aims to bring together researchers working in the field of MTD to share innovative ideas, foster collaboration, and identify emerging directions in this evolving domain. The workshop will focus on five key topics:

Major themes

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Machine Learning
  • Cybersecurity
  • Cryptography and Blockchain
  • System Software

Participation

The contributions will be prepared according to the IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings and will be submitted in PDF format. Only accepted and presented Short and Regular papers will be included in the CSCS25 Proceedings which will be published using the IEEE Conference Publishing Services. Registered participants to the Workshop will be able to attend all CSCS25 sections.

Mr. Jean-Philippe Wary

Systems & Products Security Research Program Director, Orange Innovation, France

Biography: Jean-Philippe Wary currently manages a Security Research Program (within Orange R&D Labs since 2011) on Systems and Products Security. One of his major interests is to investigate new security models and schemes to deliver and operate on Demand Security SLA (Security Level Agreement) businesses and support new certifications schemes (ENISA Certification schemes & new EU Directives NIS2 / CRA / DORA…). He holds over 60 families of international patents in telecom, services, and security.

Keynote speakers

Mrs. Chrystel Gaber

Researcher & Project Coordinator, Orange Innovation, France

Biography: Chrystel Gaber received her PhD in Computing Systems from the University of Caen in 2013. After working as a project coordinator and R&D engineer at Fime, she joined Orange as a researcher and project coordinator. She currently coordinates the CACTUS5G+ research activity, focusing on responsibility in multi-party systems. Her research combines cybersecurity, data science, and software engineering. Their work has led to significant advancements, including improved security for microcontroller containers and the creation of indicators assessing trust in components and their suppliers based on their commitment adherence.

Mr. Mohamad Hajj

Cybersecurity Solution Manager, Internet of Trust

Biography: Mohamad Hajj is a Cybersecurity Solution Manager at Internet of Trust with over 10 years of experience in security risk assessment (according to EBIOS RM, ISO 27005 and NIST 800-30) and security assurance (Self-assessment, Common Criteria, EUCC, GlobalPlatform, CSPN, IoT schemes, NESAS, etc.), with technologies including 5G, O-RAN, Cloud, Smart Cards, IoT devices, Digital identity, Digital signature and Automotive (ISO 21434). Prior to joining Internet of Trust, he was a certification expert (Common Criteria and other private certification schemes) at Thales (previously Gemalto/Trusted Labs). Mohamad gained a PhD in Electronic and telecommunication from Limoges University, France, in 2009. Mohamad is the rapporteur of the ENISA EU5G certification scheme, the rapporteur of the CRA vertical harmonised standard on hypervisors and container runtime systems under ETSI TC CYBER and CEN-CENELEC, and a member of the ENISA Ad-Hoc Group on vulnerability handling and AI, as well as WG11 of the O-RAN Alliance.

Dr. Gürkan Gür

Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW)

Biography: Gürcan Gür received his PhD degree in Computer Engineering from Bogazici University in 2013. Currently, he is a senior lecturer at Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) InIT, and also a member of Satellite Networks Research Laboratory (SATLAB) and Telecommunications & Informatics Technologies Research Center (TETAM) at Bogazici University.
