ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

COSADE 2012 

Third International Workshop on 
Constructive Side-Channel Analysis and Secure Design

Darmstadt, Germany, May 03-04, 2012

http://cosade2011.cased.de
 
Side-channel analysis (SCA) and implementation attacks have become an
important field of research at universities and in the industry. In
order to enhance the resistance of cryptographic and security critical
implementations within the design phase, constructive attacks and
analyzing techniques may serve as a quality metric to optimize the
design- and development process. This workshop provides an
international platform for researchers, academics, and industry
participants to present their work and their current research
topics. It is an excellent opportunity to meet experts and to initiate
new collaborations and information exchange at a professional
level. The workshop will feature both invited presentations and
contributed talks.

The topics of COSADE 2011 include, but are not limited to:

Side-Channel Analysis and Implementation Attacks:

* Constructive side-channel analysis and implementation attacks in general
* Profiled and non-profiled methods for constructive side-channel analysis
* Non-invasive, semi-Invasive and invasive implementation attacks
* Power attacks and electromagnetic analysis
* Advanced stochastic methods in SCA, especially in power- and
  electromagnetic analysis
* Stochastic approach in power analysis
* Leakage models and security models for side-channel analysis in the
  presence and absence of countermeasures
* Advanced methods for Differential Power Analysis and Mutual
  Information Analysis
* Algebraic side-channel analysis and combination of implementation
  attacks with algebraic cryptanalysis
* Side-channel analysis under black-box assumptions
* Side-channel analysis and implementation attacks on cyber physical
  systems and embedded devices
* Timing-analysis, cache-attacks and micro-architectural analysis
* Decapsulation and preparation techniques 
* Side-channel based reverse engineering
* Side-channel analysis in cloud and virtualization contexts


Cryptographic Engineering, Secure Design and Side-channel Evaluation:

* Cryptographic engineering and secure design methods in general
* Leakage resilience, tamper resistance and fault tolerance by design
* Interaction between side-channel analysis and secure design
* Evaluation methodologies for side-channel resistant designs,
  acquisition and analysis
* Advanced techniques for physical side-channel measurement,
  side-channel acquisition and preprocessing
* Verification methods for side-channel analysis and fault analysis
* Side-channel aware and tamper-resistant design criteria and design techniques
* Countermeasures against implementation attacks at algorithmic-,
  logic-, register transfer- and physical level
* Secure designs and countermeasures for FPGAs, HW/SW
  Codesign-architectures and SoC
* Fault injection and fault tolerance tools for reconfigurable hardware and SoC
* Evaluation platforms and tools for testing of side-channel characteristics
* New and emerging methods and applications for constructive side
  channel analysis and secure design


Contributions:

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers with max. 15
pages. The manuscripts must follow the LNCS default author
instructions at URL http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
All manuscripts must be submitted electronically at following the
link: http://cosade2012.cased.de/submission.html


Workshop Proceedings:

The proceedings will be published in the Springer CCIS or LNCS series
(final confirmation pending). In order to be included in the
proceedings, the authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their
paper will be presented at the conference. In addition, the Journal of
Cryptographic Engineering will be publishing selected papers.


Work in Progress Session:

COSADE 2012 also comprises a special session "Work in progress" (WiP
session). The WiP session will be dedicated to new, on-going research
in constructive side channel analysis and secure design. Applicants
should submit extended abstracts (4-6 pages) by March 13, 2012. The
manuscript should also follow the LNCS default author instructions.
