It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the First ACM Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security and PrivaCy (CPS-SPC) in conjunction with the 22nd ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security in Denver, Colorado, USA.
Our increased dependency on cyber-physical systems (CPS) has amplified concerns of cyber attacks on these systems. These transformative attack methods require additional research into secure control systems and related architectures of CPS. The majority of the published literature addressing the security and privacy of CPS reflect a field still in its infancy; as such, the overall principles, models, and theories for securing CPS have not yet emerged. It is hoped that this workshop will provide a focal point for the research community to begin addressing the security and privacy of CPS in a comprehensive and multidisciplinary manner and, in tandem with other efforts, build a comprehensive research roadmap. As a workshop, we expect to attract papers that reflect ongoing work that are still "works in progress".
This first edition of the workshop aims to lay the foundations to become one of the premier forums for presentation of interdisciplinary research results and experience reports at the interface of control theory, information security, embedded and real-time systems and human factors applied to CPS. The mission of the workshop is to create a community of researchers focusing on diverse aspects of CPS Security and Privacy, and to provide researchers and practitioners a premiere forum to share their perspectives with others interested in interdisciplinary approaches to solve the challenging security and privacy problems in CPS.
We received 20 submissions, and all papers were reviewed by at least three program committee members. 11 papers were accepted leading to a 55% acceptance rate.

Eliminating Inter-Domain Vulnerabilities in Cyber-Physical Systems: An Analysis Contracts Approach
Designing secure cyber-physical systems (CPS) is a particularly difficult task since security vulnerabilities stem not only from traditional cybersecurity concerns, but also physical ones. Many of the standard methods for CPS design make strong and ...
The Impact of Social Engineering on Industrial Control System Security
In assessing the security posture of Industrial Control Systems (ICS), several approaches have been proposed, including attack graphs, attack trees, Bayesian networks and security ideals. Predominantly focusing on technical vulnerabilities, challenges ...
Secure and Resilient Control Design for Cloud Enabled Networked Control Systems
Cloud computing enables resource-constrained Networked Control Systems (NCSs) to outsource heavy computations to a cloud server with massive computational resources. However, Cloud-enabled NCSs (CE-NCSs) introduce new challenges arising from the ...
Attack Mitigation in Adversarial Platooning Using Detection-Based Sliding Mode Control
In this paper, we consider a mitigation strategy to prevent a vehicle controlled by an attacker from causing collisions in a vehicular platoon. An adversarial-aware control scheme, based on sliding mode control using only local sensor information and a ...
Scheduling Intrusion Detection Systems in Resource-Bounded Cyber-Physical Systems
In order to be resilient to attacks, a cyber-physical system (CPS) must be able to detect attacks before they can cause significant damage. To achieve this, \emph{intrusion detection systems} (IDS) may be deployed, which can detect attacks and alert ...
A Real-Time Testbed Environment for Cyber-Physical Security on the Power Grid
The trustworthiness and security of cyber-physical systems (CPSs), such as the power grid, are of paramount importance to ensure their safe operation, performance, and economic efficiency. The aim of many cyber-physical security techniques, such as ...
