<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p>11th escar –
Intl. Conference on Embedded Security in Cars <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">November 14 – 15, 2013
Frankfurt/Main, Germany <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">OVERVIEW AND SCOPE<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Information technology
is the driving force behind most innovations in the
automotive industry. Today even compact vehicles have a few
tens of interconnected microprocessors with up to several
hundred megabytes of software and integrated communication
capabilities to the outside world. The situation is similar
for commercial vehicles such as trucks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p>One crucial
aspect of many IT applications in vehicles is IT security.
Whereas IT safety is a relatively well established (if not
necessarily well understood) field, the protection of
automotive IT systems against manipulations has more
recently started to emerge. At the same time, security will
be an enabling technology for many – perhaps for most –
future automotive IT applications. IT security will increase
both, reliability and safety, while enabling and protecting
various new business models.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The escar conference has
established itself as the premier forum for information,
discussion and exchange of ideas in this innovative field.
As in previous years, the program will include invited talks
and submitted papers in the following areas.<o:p> <br>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- Security engineering,
formal methods, development & validation tools, security
standardization and security economics for automotive domain<br>
- Security of vehicle-driven business, maintenance and
service models<o:p></o:p><br>
- Identity theft, privacy and data protection issues in
vehicular settings<o:p></o:p><br>
- Vehicular hardware security and hardware security modules<o:p></o:p><br>
- Security of vehicular on-board, passenger, and V2X
communications<o:p></o:p><br>
- Security of software downloads and open vehicle
application platforms<o:p></o:p><br>
- Security of vehicular component protection solutions<o:p></o:p><br>
- Security of legal car applications (e.g., event data
recorder, tachograph)<br>
<o:p></o:p>- Security of road pricing, restricted areas
access and vehicle monitoring<o:p></o:p><br>
- Security of vehicle theft prevention and theft response
solutions<o:p></o:p><br>
- Security of vehicular rights control and audit (e.g.,
feature activation)<o:p></o:p><br>
- Security of future vehicle applications (e.g., electric
cars, ITS)<o:p></o:p><br>
- Security for other transport systems (e.g., railways,
aerospace)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</o:p>INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSION<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Theoretical/scientific
articles, case studies and real-world experiences are
welcome. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Prospective
authors should contact one of the program chairs in case
they have a doubt about the appropriateness of their
submission for the conference. Two types of submissions are
possible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Full papers of up to 10
pages: This can be, for example, new research results, case
studies, or state-of-the-art reports. The value for the
escar community should be clearly demonstrated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Extended abstracts of
2-3 pages: This category is particularly geared towards
contributions from industry, e.g., describing new
developments in industrial research or applications.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For both types, the text
must be in English, the font size should be at least 10pt,
and the type of submission (i.e., full paper vs. extended
abstract) must be indicated on the title page. Submissions
