          escar 2006 - Embedded Security in Cars
                   www.escarworkshop.org

                    November 14-15, 2006
                       Berlin, Germany

Now in its 4th year, escar has established itself as the premier forum in 
the field of automotive IT security. 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.

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. 
At the same time, security will be an enabling technology for many -- 
perhaps for most -- future automotive IT applications. IT security will 
increase reliability and safety, and enable new business models.

escar 2006 will have again a unique mix of invited talks and submitted 
papers by industry experts and leading researchers. This year`s key note 
speakers are

	Peter Haeussermann (Head of DaimlerChrysler`s Electric/Electronic
                            Telematics group)
	Prof. Pravin Varaiya (University of California at Berkeley)

The topics covered during escar include
  * Securing Vehicular Communications
  * Security and Safety
  * Business Models and Security
  * Secure Software Architectures
  * Secure Positioning
  * Privacy and Anonymity
