ReConFig 2009 2009 International Conference on ReConFigurable Computing and FPGAs December 9-11, 2009, Cancun, Mexico Special track on Reconfigurable Computing for Security and Cryptography. Reconfigurable hardware offers unique opportunities for the design and implementation of secure applications in embedded and high-end computing platforms. High performance, carefully-controlled execution, and physical isolation are just a few of the advantages that hardware brings over software. At the same time, new challenges appear, such as the protection of intellectual property in a reconfigurable fabric, and the protection of soft-hardware against malicious tampering. This special track seeks the latest innovations in reconfigurable computing for security and cryptography. Topics of interest include the following: - Hardware Implementation of Novel Cryptographic Algorithms and Protocols - Reconfigurable Cryptographic Primitives - Special-Purpose Hardware for Cryptanalysis - Hardware Support for Trustworthy Software Execution - True and Pseudo Random Generators - Circuit Identification and Physical Unclonable Functions - Efficient Methods for Protection of Hardware IPs - FPGA Design Security - Fault Attacks and Side-channel Attacks - Hardware Tamper Resistance and Tamper Evidence - Hardware Trojan Detection and Resistance - Design Flows for Hardware-based Secure Systems - Performance Evaluation of Secure Reconfigurable Hardware Important dates: * Paper Submission: July 31, 2009 * Acceptance Notification: September 17, 2009 * Camera-Ready Papers: October 9, 2009 * Conference: December 9-11, 2009 For more information, please consult www.reconfig.org
