E-health systems have the objective to continuously monitor the state of patients in order to increase knowledge and understanding of their physical status. Being a system of systems, the Internet of Things (IoT) has to master the challenge of integrating heterogeneous systems across technology boundaries. Timely delivery of observation data is a key aspect to identifying potential diseases and anomalies. IoT systems are vulnerable to attacks since communication is mostly wireless and thus vulnerable to eavesdropping, things are usually unattended and thus vulnerable to physical attacks, and most IoT elements are short on both the energy and computing resources necessary for the implementation of complex security-supporting schemes. Among the plethora of applications that can benefit from the IoT, the workshop will have a particular focus on security aspects in e-Health and in the broad-sense of well-being. Security aspects in other application domains of the IoT are also of interest.
