Well, the Benelux isn't in the New York and greater New England area,
but in case any of you have a hankering for a clambake...

Howdy Fellow New Englanders,
Would you please forward this RFIDsec announcement as appropriate with 
your colleagues? I figure that students and faculty in the New York and 
greater New England area would be interested due to the close proximity. 
The tutorials and workshop should interest the lightweight crypto, side 
channel analysis, PUFs, contactless payments, and embedded/sensor 
networking crowds. Thanks!

	Cheers,
	Kevin

7th Annual Workshop on RFID Security and Privacy (RFIDsec)
Amherst, MA, USA
June 26-28, 2011
Early bird registration ends May 13

http://rfid-cusp.org/rfidsec/

RFIDsec brings together researchers from academia and industry for
topics of importance to improving the security and privacy of RFID,
NFC, contactless technologies, and the Internet of Things.  RFIDsec
bridges the gap between cryptographic researchers and RFID developers
through invited talks, tutorials, and contributed presentations and
posters.

Early bird registration expires May 13. The first 50 attendees to
register will receive a complimentary RFID-shielded wallet.

Pre-workshop tutorials cover the physics of RFID, hands-on
differential power analysis of hardware tokens, hands-on programming
of batteryless RFID-scale sensor devices, and an introduction to RFID
security and privacy.

Social highlights include a reception and a New England-style clambake
with scenic views of the rolling foothills and majestic mountains of
the Pioneer Valley.

Discounts for full-time students are made possible by the generosity
of Microsoft Research, Mocana, Cryptography Research, the RFID
Journal, and DIFRwear.
