About EISA 2024
With recent evolution of adversarial techniques, intrusions have become more complex that may threaten the security of various assets regarding information and applications. In addition, coordinated intrusions like worm outbreak can continue to be a major threat to information, system and network security in the near future. The popularity of Internet may generate a large volume of different types of sensitive information. Therefore, there is a need for emerging techniques, theories and applications to protect information and practical security.
The 5th International Conference on Emerging Information Security and Applications (EISA) aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners across the world to exchange their ideas. It seeks original submissions that discuss practical or theoretical solutions to enhance the information and application security in practice.
A best paper award will be granted to the qualified papers.
Good quality papers will be invited to SCI-indexed journal special issues.

Title: Secure Data Sharing in Internet of Vehicles
Abstract
Internet of Vehicles (IoV) enables the interconnection and data exchange between vehicles (V2V) and between vehicles and roadside infrastructure (V2I), enhancing traffic safety and efficiency. However, due to the open and broadcast nature of wireless communication, attackers can easily tamper with or forge data transmitted by vehicles, potentially causing traffic disruption. Therefore, secure data sharing mechanisms are crucial for the IoV. Additionally, given the private nature of vehicle data, sharing this information must not compromise the privacy of vehicle owners. This report presents methods for secure data sharing in the Internet of Vehicles.

Title: Integrated security protection system and key technologies for Intelligent Connected Vehicles
Abstract
Intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs) represent the fusion of intelligent and network technologies with traditional vehicles, with the vehicle-road-cloud integrated development path becoming an industry consensus. However, the frequent data exchange across terminal, edge, and cloud systems poses multiple security challenges, including secure data transmission, cross-domain data untrustworthiness, and the inapplicability of unified models. To address these issues, an integrated security protection system based on "active and passive integration, cross-domain collaboration, and cloud-edge-terminal coordination" is proposed. This system enhances data security, model update efficiency, and cross-domain trustworthiness through cross-domain security sharing methods and a unified anomaly detection model. The report further showcases innovative solutions and experimental validations in data encryption, anomaly detection, and multi-domain collaboration, providing robust technical support for the secure development of ICVs.

Title: Testing Learning-Enabled Cyber-Physical Systems: Current Approaches and Future Directions
Abstract
Learning-enabled Cyber-Physical Systems (LE-CPS), including autonomous vehicles and unmanned drones, hold great promise but also raise significant concerns about safety and reliability. Unlike traditional software, these LE-CPS integrate deep neural networks with logic-based modules, creating unique challenges for software testing. Despite advances in testing techniques, the practical needs of industry practitioners for safety and formal guarantees have not yet been fully addressed. To tackle these complex challenges, I have led a team of world-leading experts to establish the Trusted Autonomy Working Group (TACPS.org). In this presentation, I will first briefly discuss two of our FSE’22 papers that provide a comprehensive study of current testing practices and test reduction strategies in autonomous vehicles. I will then highlight a recent FSE’24 paper that revives model-based testing in LE-CPS using large language models, followed by related work in TSE’24 and ICSE’25 on generating driving scenarios with large language models and creating an online testing environment to enhance drone autolanding systems. Finally, I will cover our recent paper on the neuro-symbolic paradigm, which aims to improve the interpretability, testability, and verifiability of LE-CPS.
