[Newsletter des Horst Görtz Instituts]

7th Annual Workshop on RFID Security and Privacy (RFIDsec)
Amherst, Massachusetts, USA
June 26-28, 2011
http://rfid-cusp.org/rfidsec/


Early bird registration ends May 13



RFIDsec brings together researchers from academia and industry for
topics of importance to improving the security and privacy of RFID,
NFC, contactless technologies, and the Internet of Things.  RFIDsec
bridges the gap between cryptographic researchers and RFID developers
through invited talks, tutorials, and contributed presentations and
posters.

Adi Shamir (co-inventor of the RSA algorithm) will provide the opening
keynote talk on "Minimalism in Cryptography."  Our distinguished invited
speakers include experts in RFID, cryptography, and security from industry
and academia: Srdjan Capkun, Ravi Pappu, and Adi Shamir.

Early bird registration expires May 13. The first 50 attendees to
register will receive a complimentary RFID-shielded wallet.

Pre-workshop tutorials cover the physics of RFID, hands-on
differential power analysis of hardware tokens, hands-on programming
of batteryless RFID-scale sensor devices, and an introduction to RFID
security and privacy.

Social highlights include a reception and a New England-style clambake
with scenic views of the rolling foothills and majestic mountains of
the Pioneer Valley.

Discounts and stipends for full-time students are made possible by the
generosity of Microsoft Research, Mocana, the U.S. National Science
Foundation, Cryptography Research, the RFID Journal, DIFRwear, and
UMass Amherst.
