While there are many definitions of the Internet of Things (IoT), all of
them revolve around the same central concept: a world-wide network of
interconnected objects. These objects will make use of multiple technological
building blocks, such as wireless communication, sensors, actuators, and
RFID, in order to allow people and things to be connected anytime anyplace,
with anything and anyone. However, mainly due to the inherent heterogeneity
of this vision and its broad scope, there will not be a single silver bullet
security solution that will fulfill all the security requirements of the IoT.
Therefore: How we can include security as a core element of the IoT? How the
IoT will interact with other security mechanisms of the Future Internet?
What security requirements will be truly challenged by the ultimate vision of
the IoT?

It is precisely the goal of this workshop to bring together researchers and
industry experts in areas relevant to the security of the Internet of Things
to discuss these and other significant issues. Moreover, this workshop also
has the objective to serve as a forum for not only presenting cutting-edge
research, but also for debating the role of security and its practical
implications in the development of the IoT.
