Intelligent infrastructures (IIs) are developed in various domains, including the IoT of vehicles, industrial IoT, eServices, eHealthcare, and SmartCities applications. They aim to provide a higher level of convenience for humanity, but with those promises have come privacy and security issues and concerns.
The workshop on Security and Privacy in Intelligent Infrastructures (SP2I 2025), in conjunction with the ARES2025 conference, aims to discuss the ongoing research efforts in privacy and security in Intelligent Infrastructures. It also served as a forum for relevant research projects to disseminate privacy and security-related results and boost future cooperation.
The SP2I 2025 program included one invited talk and four research presentations. In the invited talk “Future-Proofing E-Voting”, Prof. Peter Roenne highlighted the challenges of designing and developing e-voting solutions considering the quantum and Post-quantum principles.
The talk by Xiaolu Hou on “Side-Channel Analysis of OpenVINO-Based Neural Network Models” explained the susceptibility of quantised models implemented in an embedded framework for deploying neural networks on embedded and Edge devices.
