THE 8TH WORKSHOP ON RFID SECURITY AND PRIVACY 2012

RFIDsec 2012

July 1-3, 2012, Nijmegen, The Netherlands

The Workshop on RFID Security 2012 is the eighth edition of a series of workshops held in Graz, Malaga, Budapest, Leuven, Istanbul, and Amherst. This year it will take place in Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

The event will be co-located with the IFIP Working Group 11.2 on Pervasive Systems Security, which aims to become an active community of researchers in the area of security and privacy for RFID, NFC and the Internet of Things. To this end we are organizing our second seminar on Wednesday, July 4th, just after RFIDSec 2012, in Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

The goal of the RFIDsec 2012 workshop is the dissemination of newest research results in the area of RFID Security aiming for more efficient and secure contact-less systems.

RFIDsec is the premier workshop devoted to security and privacy in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) with participants throughout the world. RFIDsec aims to bridge the gap between cryptographic researchers and RFID developers through invited talks and contributed presentations. About two thirds of the past workshop attendees hail from academia, and one third from industry and government. The workshop focuses on approaches to solve security and data-protection issues in advanced contactless technologies.

Topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:

• New applications for secure RFID, NFC and other constrained systems
• Data protection and privacy-enhancing techniques
• Cryptographic protocols
  • Authentication protocols
  • Key distribution mechanisms
  • Scalability issues
• Integration of secure RFID systems
  • (Public-key) Infrastructures
  • Middleware and security
  • Case studies
• Data mining and other systemic approaches to RFID security
• Resource-efficient implementation of cryptography
  • Small-footprint hardware and/or software
  • Low-power and/or low energy implementations
• Attacks on RFID systems
  • Side-channel attacks
  • Fault attacks
  • Physical security
• RFID security hardware e.g. RFID with PUF, RFID Trojans, ...
• Case studies

Work in progress which will be presented as a poster or during the rump session. These will not appear in the proceedings.
