The program committee is seeking original papers on the design, development, deployment, evaluation, penetration testing and application of smart cards and secure embedded systems. Submissions across a broad range of the development phase are encouraged, from exploratory research and proof of-concept studies to practical applications and deployment.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Security and applications of:

  • Smart cards: identification, access control, pay TV
  • IoT devices: automotive, medical, mobile payment, mobile connected devices
  • Trusted computing: mobile TPM, Trusted Execution Environments
  • Embedded systems: operating systems, memory, virtual machines

• Cryptographic implementations of:

  • Lightweight cryptographic algorithms
  • Post-quantum cryptographic algorithms
  • Random number generators, PUFs

• Attacks and countermeasures:

  • Side-channel (timing, power, cache) attacks and countermeasures
  • Fault and combined attacks and countermeasures
  • Reverse engineering, (anti-)cloning, (anti-)tempering, (anti-)counterfeiting

• Tools:

  • Automated analysis
  • Formal verification and secure design
  • Deep learning analysis
