23 years of escar conference! Starting in 2003 in Germany the conference is now organized internationally due to its continuous success – Europe, USA and Asia. Moreover the conference reaches higher numbers of attendees each year. The attendees and exhibitors enjoy insightful conference days, interesting talks and good networking. Every year it proves again that escar is the leading Automotive Cyber Security conference in the world!
Modern cars have become complex digital devices and automotive Cyber Security is one of the most important issues. Therefore, the overall goal and objective of escar is to provide a forum for collaboration among private industry, academia, and government regarding modern in-vehicle Cyber Security threats, vulnerabilities, and risk mitigation/countermeasures. escar offers an opportunity for information exchange, networking and is a platform to define research needs. International and high-quality speakers give recent insights and encourage discussions.
escar conference includes invited talks in the following areas:
Cyber Security Management Systems (including regulation, standardization, certification, interoperability, connection to other management systems, UN ECE R155, ISO/SAE 213434)
Security Technologies for systems and subsystems (like automotive ECUs and subcomponents, in-vehicle networks, hardware security, OTA, access control, intrusion detection, monitoring, automotive SIEM, security functions, etc.)
Offensive security (car hacking, penetration testing, protocol analysis, automation, fuzzing, etc.)
Security in Software-Defined Vehicles (incl. aspects of ecosystems like changing value chains, continuous development, DevOps, application of new Technologies)
Architectures for securing specific vehicle applications and contexts (e.g., for highly-automated and autonomous vehicles, connected vehicles and V2X, electric vehicles, big data analysis, backend and cloud infrastructures, domain controllers, vehicle computers, zero trust architectures, etc.)
Automotive security engineering (like safety and security co-design, trust models and formal methods, development and validation tools, security (long-term) maintenance, security (credential and overall) management, incident handling and response, and security economics for the automotive domain, etc.)
Secure and privacy-friendly use of AI and machine learning in automotive contexts (e.g., generative AI, privacy-preserving machine learning, adversarial examples, security of automated driving mechanisms using AI)
Future security technologies and their application to automotive systems (e.g., Post-Quantum Cryptography, Trusted Execution Environments, Privacy-Enhancing Technologies, etc.)
Further automotive-and security-related topics (such as security usability, legal aspects, privacy and data protection, securityfor other transport systems like railway or aerospace, mobiltiy services like robotaxis, etc.)
