***********************************************************
Fourth International Workshop on Lightweight Cryptography for Security &
Privacy (LightSec 2015)

September 10-11, 2015
Bochum, Germany
https://wiki.crypto.rub.de/lightsec15

Submission Deadline:		June   29, 2015
Author notification:		July   29, 2015
Camera ready papers due:	August 12, 2015

***********************************************************

*ABOUT LightSec 2015*
LightSec 2015 promotes and initiates novel research on the security &
privacy issues for applications that can be termed as lightweight
security, due to the associated constraints on metrics such as available
power, energy, computing ability, area, execution time, and memory
requirements. As such applications are becoming ubiquitous, providing an
immense value to society, they are also affecting a greater portion of
the public & leading to a plethora of economical & security and privacy
related concerns.

*TOPICS OF INTEREST*
  •  Design, analysis and implementation of lightweight cryptographic
protocols
  •  Cryptographic hardware development for constrained domains
  •  Security & privacy solutions for wireless embedded systems
  •  Lightweight privacy-preserving protocols & systems
  •  Design and analysis of fast and compact cryptographic algorithms
  •  Wireless network security for low-resource devices
  •  Low-power crypto architectures
  •  Scalable protocols and architectures for security and privacy
  •  Formal methods for analysis of lightweight cryptographic protocols
  •  Security and privacy issues in RFID and NFC
  •  Embedded systems security
  •  PUF based crypto protocols
  •  Security of ubiquitous and pervasive computing
  •  Side channel analysis and countermeasures on lightweight devices
  •  Efficient and scalable cryptographic protocols for the Next
Generation Secure Cloud

*SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS*
  The submissions must be anonymous with no author names, affiliations
or obvious references. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work
that any of the authors has published in a journal or a
conference/workshop with proceedings, or has submitted/is planning to
submit before the author notification deadline to a journal or other
conferences/workshops that have proceedings. Accepted submissions may
not appear in any other conference or workshop that has proceedings.
  The proceedings will be published in Springer-Verlag’s LNCS series.
Hence, the final version of accepted papers will have to follow the LNCS
guidelines (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs) using Springer’s
standard fonts, font sizes, and margins with a total page limit of 20
pages including references and appendices. Submissions to LightSec 2015
must follow the same format. Clearly marked supplementary materials may
be appended without a page limit, but reviewers are neither required to
read them nor will they be printed in the proceedings. Hence papers must
be intelligible and self-contained within the 20 page bound.
