AMSec 2021: International Workshop on Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) Security

Call for Papers

The need to secure physical and cyber-physical systems which rely on 3D-printed parts gives rise to a corresponding need to understand potential attacks via AM systems, and to develop countermeasures that will enable attack prevention, detection, and investigation. So far, three major security threat categories have been identified for AM: theft of technical data (often referred to as violation of Intellectual Property, IP), sabotage of AM, and manufacturing of illegal objects. AM Security is the highly multi-disciplinary field of research that addresses these threats.

The aim of this Workshop is to present recent advances in AM Security, including both offensive and defensive approaches. This workshop further welcomes publications in closely related fields, such as Industry 4.0 Security and Supply Chain Security.

The topics of interest include the following:

• Compromises of AM systems and manufacturing environment
• Security threats and attacks in the AM context
• Approaches to prevent attacks on or with AM
• Approaches to detect ongoing attacks on or with AM
• Digital Investigation and forensics in the AM context
• Legal aspects of attacks on or with AM
• Misuse of AM in illegal, terroristic, or nuclear proliferation activities
• Comparative analysis of AM vs. CPS, IoT, Industry 4.0, etc. Securities
• Taxonomies of attacks or defense measures in the AM context
• Surveys of AM Security literature
• Surveys of AM Security posture in industry and agencies
• AM Security-related standardization needs and efforts
• Education of AM Security or related topics

Submissions

All submitted papers will be evaluated based on their relevance to the workshop scope, novelty, merits, quality of execution, and presentation. Submitted papers may be rejected for being out of scope, at the discretion of the PC chairs. Authors who have questions about whether their paper is in scope are encouraged to ask the PC chairs in advance.

We are accepting both Full (10-12 pages) and Short (6-8 pages) Papers. All submissions must be a PDF file in double-column ACM format (see https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template, with a simpler version at https://github.com/acmccs/format), no more than 12 pages long excluding the bibliography, well-marked appendices, and supplementary material. Short, high-quality papers are also encouraged and will be considered. Note that reviewers are not required to read the appendices or any supplementary material. Authors should not change the font or the margins of the ACM format. Submissions not following the required format may be rejected without review.

Submissions are to be made to the submission web site at https://amsec21.hotcrp.com/

Keynote

"Security in a Complex Non-deterministic World" by Dr. Joseph Salvo

Traditional methods of security consistently fail because of the nature of this topology. This novel organization of knowledge combined with the power of "action at a distance" requires a new paradigm to secure the future of open society, privacy, manufacturing, finance and international commerce. Traditional technology and control mechanisms will continue to fall short in the face of this global cultural shift that is now irreversible. New network designs and technology paradigms offer hope to this pernicious threat against a connected world.

Biography: Dr. Joseph Salvo was the Founder and GE Director of the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC). He was responsible for setting the overall direction and prioritization of IIC activities for the organization that currently has members from over 25 countries and 250 organizations. He also managed the Complex Systems Engineering Laboratory at GE Global Research and lead an AI laboratory at the GE China Tech center in Shanghai. For the past 20 years Dr. Salvo and his laboratories developed a series of large-scale internet-based sensing arrays to manage and oversee business systems on a global scale and deliver value-added services.

Digital manufacturing, supply chain management, telematics services, and energy management were among the targets for continual improvement through the judicious use of big data and AI algorithms. Commercial releases of complex decision platforms such as GE Veriwise™ GE Railwise, Global Vendor Managed Inventory, Ener.GE™, and E-Materials Management delivered near real-time customer value through system transparency and knowledge-based computational algorithms. More than 1 trillion dollars of assets and goods have been tracked and system optimized with technology that is deployed on 4 continents.

Blockchain, 5G communications, digital manufacturing, personal privacy and quantum secure data transfer are among his latest interests.
Dr. Salvo holds 15 U.S. patents, with more than 15 additional patents pending. Dr. Salvo joined the GE Global Research Center in 1988.
He received his M.Phil. and Ph.D. in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at Yale University and his undergraduate degree from Harvard University.
