Overview

About SecDLT

Distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) are increasingly being incorporated into IoT, 5G/6G, vehicular networks, and edge computing systems, enabling decentralized trust, secure data management, and automated governance. However, this integration simultaneously creates new and underexplored security and privacy risks at the intersection of DLT and communication network infrastructure.

SecDLT is a full-day workshop that serves as a dedicated platform to address these challenges. It brings together researchers and practitioners in distributed computing, network security, and applied cryptography to identify open problems, present new research, and create opportunities for future collaborations.
