SECSI – Secure Component and System Identification
              www.secsi-workshop.org

                 March 17-18, 2008
                  Berlin, Germany

The secure identification of devices – a seemingly specific problem –
is a major concern for a large number of applications. Counterfeiting
of all kinds of products (ranging from textiles over pharmaceuticals
to bank notes) and parts (from printer cartridges over ICs to spare
parts for heavy machinery) are areas with urgent need for strong and
secure device identification. RFID systems are a second application
domain. Finally, secure identification is important for access control.

The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners in this emerging area. The main focus will be on
technical solutions for the problem of device identification. Thus, we
invite researchers from academia and industry as well as people from
the application areas of device identification to contribute to SECSI.
Especially welcome will be papers dealing with the following aspects:

* Physics and cryptography for device identification
* Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) and device identification
* Cryptographic protocols and algorithms for device identification
* RFID and component identification
* Non-technical aspects of device identification
* ...

For this workshop, contributions summarizing the state-of-the-art and
those with new solutions are welcome. Should you have questions about
the suitability of your contribution for SECSI, you are welcome to
contact info at secsi-workshop.org (Christof Paar and Pim Tuyls). The
workshop will consist of invited presentations and contributed
presentations.

The workshop is organized by ECRYPT, the European Network of
Excellence in Cryptography. The workshop is an activity of ECRYPT's
VAMPIRE – Virtual Application and Implementation Research Lab.

Submissions

For SECSI, contributions summarizing the state-of-the-art and those
with new research results are welcome. In order to avoid submissions
to SECSI from conflicting with submissions to forthcoming or past
conferences with proceedings, there will be no formal proceedings.
(Hence, papers can be submitted to SECSI and to another
conference/workshop with proceedings). However, there will be a
booklet with all contributions that is distributed to all participants.

Submissions should not exceed 12 pages without appendices, and 15
pages with appendices. LaTeX is preferred (over MS Word) for
submissions. Submissions should be sent as PDF or PS to:
submissions at secsi-workshop.org
