*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.
