               Second Call for Papers

SECSI - Secure Component and System Identification
             www.secsi-workshop.org

                March 17-18, 2008
                 Berlin, Germany

The secure identification of devices - a seemingly specific problem - is
a major concern for a large number of applications. Counterfeiting of
all kinds of products (ranging from textiles over pharmaceuticals to
bank notes) and parts (from printer cartridges over ICs to spare parts
for heavy machinery) are areas with urgent need for strong and secure
device identification. RFID systems are a second application domain.
Finally, secure identification is important for access control.

The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners in this emerging area. The main focus will be on technical
solutions for the problem of device identification. Thus, we invite
researchers from academia and industry as well as people from the
application areas of device identification to contribute to SECSI.
Especially welcome will be papers dealing with the following aspects:

* Physics and cryptography for device identification
* Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) and device identification
* Cryptographic protocols and algorithms for device identification
* RFID and component identification
* Non-technical aspects of device identification
* ...

For this workshop, contributions summarizing the state-of-the-art and
those with new solutions are welcome. Should you have questions about
the suitability of your contribution for SECSI, you are welcome to
contact info at secsi-workshop.org (Christof Paar and Pim Tuyls). The
workshop will consist of invited presentations and contributed
presentations.

The workshop is organized by ECRYPT, the European Network of Excellence
in Cryptography. The workshop is an activity of ECRYPT's VAMPIRE -
Virtual Application and Implementation Research Lab.

Submissions

For SECSI, contributions summarizing the state-of-the-art and those with
new research results are welcome. In order to avoid submissions to SECSI
from conflicting with submissions to forthcoming or past conferences
with proceedings, there will be no formal proceedings. (Hence, papers
can be submitted to SECSI and to another conference/workshop with
proceedings). However, there will be a booklet with all contributions
that is distributed to all participants.

Submissions should not exceed 12 pages without appendices, and 15 pages
with appendices. LaTeX is preferred (over MS Word) for submissions.
Submissions should be sent as PDF or PS to:
submissions at secsi-workshop.org
