It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2020 ACM Workshop on Moving Target Defense (MTD). The mission of MTD is provide a forum for researchers and practitioners in this area to exchange their novel ideas, findings, experiences, and lessons learned. The seventh MTD workshop has a special focus on the lessons learned from the past years of research in the area of moving target, and the challenges and opportunities faced by the community moving forward.
The call for papers attracted submissions from the United States, Europe, and Asia. Each submission received at least three reviews. Each submission was then discussed and carefully debated by the members of the program committee. After careful considerations, the program committee accepted 3 full technical papers. In an attempt to highlight the important lessons learned in the community so far, this year, we also invited 5 'systematization of knowledge' papers from luminaries in our field that capture important aspects of MTDs. These invited papers capture many years of experience in designing, building, evaluating, and transitioning MTD technologies to practice.

Long Live Randomization: On Privacy-preserving Contact Tracing in Pandemic
Caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the COVID-19 disease spreads particularly through direct contact between people. Health authorities face the challenge of identifying and isolating infection chains to prevent the pandemic from spreading further. To ...
Dynamic Address Validation Array (DAVA): A Moving Target Defense Protocol for CAN bus
This paper presents Dynamic Address Validation Array (DAVA), a novel moving target defense protocol for the Controller Area Network Bus (CAN bus). DAVA's primary goal is to mitigate the common CAN bus vulnerability of an unauthorized entity ...
Moving Target Defense Decision-Making Method: A Dynamic Markov Differential Game Model
Today most of the moving target defense decision-making methods are based on models of a discrete dynamic game. To more accurately study network attack-defense strategies against continuous confrontations, we analyze offensive and defensive behavior ...
OpenMTD: A Framework for Efficient Network-Level MTD Evaluation
Moving Target Defense (MTD) represents a way of defending networked systems on different levels. It mainly focuses on shifting the different surfaces of the protected environment. Existing approaches studied on network-level are Port Hopping (PH), which ...
Static Analysis Opportunities for Improving Agile and Moving Target Defenses
Agile defenses have been proposed to enable systems to change their defensive posture dynamically to thwart attacks. Researchers have suggested a variety of agile defenses that leverage renaming (e.g., for network services), migration (e.g., for cloud ...
Adoption Challenges of Code Randomization
Languages in the C family are distinguished by their efficiency, maturity, and their lack of guardrails compared to other mainstream language in use today. Their efficiency properties kept these languages relevant as new ones appeared. Their lack of ...
Lessons Learned in Network and Memory-Based Moving Target Defenses
Moving-Target Defenses seek to introduce dynamism, randomness, and diversity into computer systems in an effort to make these systems harder to explore, predict, and exploit. Over the past decade a variety of work has explored applying these kinds of ...
Range and Topology Mutation Based Wireless Agility
Wireless is a key component in most of today's network infrastructures. Yet, it is highly susceptible to network attacks because wireless communication and infrastructure, such as Access Point(AP) and clients, can be easily discovered and targeted. ...
The Cybersecurity Dynamics Way of Thinking and Landscape
The Cybersecurity Dynamics framework offers an approach to systematically understanding, characterizing, quantifying and managing cybersecurity from a holistic perspective. The framework looks into cyberspace through the dynamics lens because ...
Moving Target Defense Considerations in Real-Time Safety- and Mission-Critical Systems
Moving-target defenses (MTDs) have been widely studied for common general-purpose and enterprise-computing applications. Indeed, such work has produced highly effective, low-overhead defenses that are now commonly deployed in many systems today. One ...
