Please, find below the announcement of the

ECRYPT-NET WORKSHOP ON CRYPTOGRAPHY DESIGN FOR THE INTERNET OF THINGS
14th July - 15th July 2016, Leuven, Belgium

-> The registration is open and the program is online. <-

The ECRYPT-NET Workshop on Cryptography Design for the Internet of Things will have two pillars. One, the practical pillar, will focus on existing IoT solutions (including existing and upcoming cryptographic and security challenges). The other one, the theoretical pillar, will focus on current research in that area (new solutions for lightweight cryptography, cryptographic protocols for IoT or making nodes resilient against physical attacks).

Six invited talks will give insights into security challenges and solutions in the areas of e-health, automotive, IoT sensor nodes, cryptographic protocols for IoT, lightweight ciphers and physical security.

A poster session on the first day serves as a platform for the ECRYPT-NET students to present their latest research results and upcoming plans. Of course, every participant is invited to present a poster linked to the topics of the workshop. If you would like to make use of that option, please write a mail to florian.boehl at nxp.com briefly describing your poster to reserve a spot (first-come, first-served).

The workshop dinner on Thursday, the coffee breaks and the poster session give ample opportunity for fruitful discussions. As the workshop is part of the ECRYPT-NET project, it constitutes an excellent opportunity to meet members of the ECRYPT-NET network.

During the demo and hands-on session on Friday afternoon, the workshop participants will learn from experienced security researchers how to scrutinize IoT solutions (e.g., attacking whitebox cryptography) or discover a framework to easily deploy nodes for their own IoT solution.

Important dates:
* 3rd July 2016: Early registration ends (the first 50 participants get a reduced fee).
* 14th & 15th July 2016: Workshop

Please feel free to distribute this announcement further.
