CSR CVC
2025 IEEE CSR Workshop on Cyber-Vehi-Care for Automotive Cybersecurity (CVC)
Chania, Crete, Greece (in-person event) • August 4–6, 2025
The rapid evolution of connected and autonomous vehicles brings transformative benefits to the automotive sector but also elevates cybersecurity risks to unprecedented levels. As vehicles increasingly integrate wireless communication, the need for robust, scalable, and innovative cybersecurity solutions is more critical than ever. Therefore, Software-Defined Radio (SDR) technology represent a pivotal tool in identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities within automotive systems. The CSR CVC workshop focuses on recent advancements in automotive cybersecurity, considering the full lifecycle of risk mitigation, from vulnerability assessment methods to online intrusion detection. We invite researchers, industry experts, and practitioners to contribute their insights and methodologies on SDR-based approaches to securing automotive environments.
The CSR CVC workshop will accept high-quality research papers presenting strong theoretical contributions, applied research and innovation results obtained from funded cyber-security and resilience projects, and industrial papers that promote contributions on technology development and contemporary implementations.
Topics of Interest
Prospective authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished contributions from a broad range of topics, which include but are not limited to the following:
› Threat modeling and risk assessment methodologies for connected vehicles
› Secure V2X communication protocols for data integrity and privacy
› Cybersecurity challenges in autonomous driving, incl. real-time threat detection and securing AI-based decision-making
› Automotive software security, secure SDLC, and vulnerability management
› In-vehicle network security solutions, like CAN, LIN protection and intrusion detection systems
› Hardware security strategies, including secure ECU designs, crypto modules and tamper-proof components
› Applications of blockchain and DLTs for enhancing security in areas like vehicle identity management services
