CARDIS 2015 – Call for Papers - www.cardis.org
----------------------------------------------
Fourteenth Smart Card Research and Advanced Application Conference

Since 1994, CARDIS is the foremost international conference dedicated to
smart card research and applications. Smart cards and secure elements
are the basis for many secure systems and play a decisive role in ID
management. Established computer science areas like hardware design,
operating systems, system modelling, cryptography, verification and
networking got adapted to this fast growing technology and investigate
emerging issues resulting from it. Unlike events devoted to commercial
and application aspects of smart cards, CARDIS conferences gather
researchers and technologists who focus on all aspects of the design,
development, deployment, validation and application of smart cards and
secure elements in secure platforms or systems.

The fourteenth Smart Card Research and Advanced Application Conference
is organized by Horst Görtz Institute for IT-Security (HGI) at Ruhr
University Bochum (RUB), Germany. For more information please visit
http://2015.cardis.org

The program committee is seeking original papers on all aspects of smart
cards and secure elements. Submissions across a broad range of the
development phases are encouraged, from exploratory research and
proof-of-concept studies to practical applications and deployment of
smart cards and related technologies. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to:

- Cryptographic protocols for embedded systems
- Efficient and secure implementations of cryptographic algorithms
- Hardware architectures for secure embedded systems
- Physical attacks and countermeasures
- Validation and certification of embedded systems and applications
- Formal modelling and formal proofs
- Identity, privacy and trust issues and management for secure embedded
systems and applications
- Security of smart cards, mobile devices, RFID/NFC, and embedded systems
- Secure applications for smart cards, mobile devices, RFID/NFC, and
embedded systems
- Emerging applications for smart cards, mobile devices, RFID/NFC, and
embedded systems
- Software and execution environments for secure embedded systems
(operating systems, Java Card, virtual machines, trusted execution, ...)
- Anti-cloning and anti-counterfeiting technologies
- Embedded devices forensic and anti-forensic techniques
- Embedded systems bug detection, hardware Trojans and mitigation techniques

Authors are invited to submit papers (PDF or PS format) with novel
contributions electronically using the submission form available on the
following web site: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cardis2015.
Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, anonymous and not
submitted to journals or other conferences/workshops that have
proceedings. Submissions must be written in English and should be at
most 15 pages in total. Papers not meeting these guidelines risk
rejection without consideration. All submissions will be blind-refereed.

Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to
register and present the paper. The proceedings will be published in the
Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Accepted
papers should follow the LNCS default author instructions at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
