Anbei die Ankündigung eines sehr interessanten Workshops, der von
eurobits organisiert wird.

Im Unterschied zur escar '03 und '04 wird der Worshop dieses Jahr in
Englisch sein und deutlich
niedrigere Teilnahmegebühren haben.

escar ’05 – Embedded Security in Cars


                           www.escarworkshop.org


                             November 29-30, 2005


                               Cologne, Germany


 


General Information


Information technology is the driving force behind innovations in the
automotive industry, with perhaps 90% of all innovations in cars based
on electronics and software. Up to 80 embedded processors can be found
in a high-end car, and electronics & software will soon also be the
major single cost factor in car manufacturing. The situation is similar
for commercial vehicles such as trucks.

One crucial aspect of future IT applications in vehicles is the security
of these systems. Whereas software safety is a relatively well
established (if not necessarily well understood) field, the protection
of automotive IT systems against manipulation has only very recently
started to emerge. Likewise, the protection of the communications
between vehicles and between vehicles and infrastructure has hardly been
addressed by the research community; yet, this problem must be properly
solved prior to any commercial deployment. At the same time, security
will be an enabling technology for many – perhaps for most – future
automotive IT applications. IT security will both increase reliability &
safety, and enable new business models.

escar, now in its 3rd year, has established itself as the premier forum
in this innovative area. escar provides information, discussion and the
exchange of ideas. As in previous years, there will be invited talks
together with submitted papers. The areas of interest include but are
not limited to:

·         IT security for driver assistance, telematics, and new
business models

·         IT security for other transport systems (rail, aerospace,
etc.)

·         Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC) and car ad-hoc networks

·         Infotainment and IT security (DRM, trusted computing, etc.)

·         Secure software downloads 

·         Security issues for event data recorders (EDR) and tachographs

·         Embedded device security and cryptography

·         Car theft prevention through electronic means

·         Security issues in road pricing

·         Privacy and data protection issues

Theoretical/scientific articles, case studies and real world experiences
are welcome. For further information and a mailing list subscription,
please visit  <http://www.escarworkshop.org/> www.escarworkshop.org

Note: For the first time there will be proceedings at escar 05. The
workshop will entirely be in English.

 

Submission

Authors are asked to submit an extended abstract of up to 10 pages in
English. The extended abstract should clearly demonstrate the value of
the contribution for the community. The font size should be at least
10pt and the document should have reasonable margins. It should be kept
in mind that escar is not a place for marketing products or services.
All submissions will be reviewed. Submissions should be sent as PDF (or
postscript) documents to  <mailto:submit at escarworkshop.org>
submit at escarworkshop.org
