This workshop aims at soliciting high-quality research articles that aim at enhancing security and privacy through the exploitation of physical layer parameters. These includes the proposals and investigations of physical-layer security mechanisms that can be applied to Beyond 5G/6G and IoT networks.
Potential topics of this workshop include but are not limited to the following:
• Physical-layer methods for secrecy and privacy for Beyond 5G/6G and the IoT networks
• Physical-layer security in co-located and distributed massive MIMO
• Physical-layer methods for secret key generation
• Secure transmission using Physical Layer Characteristics at mmWave and THz frequencies
• Integration of physical-layer security into full duplex systems
• Secure orthogonal and non-orthogonal connectivity for massive numbers of devices
• Energy-efficient and low-overhead physical-layer secure transmission
• Physical layer security techniques for eMBB, mMTC, and URLLC applications
• Prototype, testbed, simulation, and performance evaluation of physical layer security schemes
• Wireless, biometric, and physical unclonable functions PUF)-based authentication
• Private information retrieval PIR)
• Covert and stealth communications
