ANSEC 2012 - The First International Workshop on Anonymity and Security Aspects of Embedded Systems (ANSEC-2012)

Mobile and embedded devices are rapidly evolving powerful, ubiquitous devices
which are involved in security-critical operations like authentication,
payment, e-Banking and e-Government applications. In addition, privacy and
anonymity protection of devices and their users is gaining more and more
importance. This workshop focuses on the question of how existing security
mechanisms (e.g. TrustZone or Secure Elements, etc.) can be efficiently
utilized to provide a secure basis to support current security dependent
applications and privacy enhancing technologies. How can the existing
cryptographic primitives for PETs efficiently and securely be realized on
state-of-the -art embedded systems? Which applications for privacy-enhancing
technologies exist and how can they be realized on devices that operate in
the Internet of things (e.g. smart-phones, smart-cards, RFID tags etc.)?
How can privacy-enhancing protocols and existing embedded security mechanisms
be attacked and what has to be done in order to increase the efficiency of
the security mechanisms?
Scope and interest:
In ANSEC 2012 we consider different aspects of cyber physical systems and
their protection mechanisms. Of particular interest are security aspects of
embedded systems and their relation to privacy and anonymity protection.
This includes (but is not limited to) the following topics:
? Embedded system security (operating system security, hardware security, information control flow integrity, …)
? Hardware supported cryptography for embedded systems
? Hardware supported security mechanisms
? Cryptographic primitives for Privacy Enhancing Technologies
? Trusted Computing for Embedded Systems
? Privacy aspects of embedded systems (e.g. electronic identities)
? Secure execution environments on embedded devices
? Attacks and attack models on embedded systems and privacy enhancing technologies
? Certification of Embedded system security features and privacy enhancing technologies
? Embedded system security (smart phones, automotive systems, RFID tags etc.)
? Anonymous authentication for embedded systems (protocols, mechanisms etc.)
Submission and Publication:
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts dealing with research and recent
developments in the topics related to the workshop. Accepted papers from
this workshop will be published by the IEEE Computer Society in IEEE TrustCom-12
conference proceedings (indexed by EI Compendex and ISTP).
Papers must be written in English conforming to the IEEE conference proceedings
format (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formattin...) and are limited to
6 pages (or 8 pages with the over length charge) including figures and
references.
Moreover, they must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations,
acknowledgements, or obvious references.
The papers must be submitted in pdf format using the EasyChair conference
management
system. (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ansec12)
