Global air traffic management is evolving from siloed, local, proprietary systems to interconnected wide-area information systems. There is rapid development, as demonstrated by the US NextGen programme and the European Single European Sky ATM Research programme.
Increased automation and interconnection also translates into increased security risks, and this workshop will focus on security of next-generation air traffic management systems and similar critical information infrastructures. Throughout the recent years the understanding has been developed that security in these contexts breaks down into 1.) self-protection/resilience of these systems/infrastructures and 2.) the collaborative support to wider aviation or national security. Contributions to both dimensions are welcomed.

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to the following in ATM and related critical infrastructures:
- Security Policy
- Risk assessment
- Security management
- Security validation
- Best practices
- Secure middleware solutions
- Experience reports
- Challenges of security assessment in a safety-oriented environment
