The Workshop on RFID Security 2010 is the sixth edition of a series of workshops held in Graz (twice), Malaga, Budapest and Leuven. Next year it will take place in Istanbul, Turkey.

The workshop focuses on approaches to solve security and data-protection issues in advanced contactless technologies like RFID. It stresses implementation aspects imposed by resource constraints.

Topics of the conference include but are not limited to:

•New applications for secure RFID systems
•Data protection and privacy-enhancing techniques for RFID
•Cryptographic protocols for RFID
◦Authentication protocols
◦Key update mechanisms
◦Scalability issues
•Integration of secure RFID systems
◦Middleware and security
◦(Public-key) Infrastructures
◦Case studies
•Resource-efficient implementation of cryptography
◦Small-footprint hardware
◦Low-power architectures
•Attacks on RFID systems
•RFID security hardware e.g. RFID with PUF, RFID Trojans, …

Workshop Proceedings:

Proceedings will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science and will be sent to the atendess after the conference. Authors of accepted papers must complete the copyright assignment form for their work to be published in the proceedings, and guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference.

Instruction for the Authors:

The submission must be anonymous with no author names, affiliations or obvious references. The length of the submission must be at most 14 pages excluding references and appendices. The text should be in a single column format, in at least 11-point fonts and have reasonable margins. If the submission is accepted, the length of the final version for Springer's LNCS will be at most 20 pages including references and appendices. The submission should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. The introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at the level understandable for a non-expert reader. The reviewers are not required to read appendices-the paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published in a journal or a conference/workshop with proceedings, or has submitted/is planning to submit before the author notification deadline to a journal or other conferences/workshops that have proceedings. Accepted submissions may not appear in any other conference or workshop that has proceedings. For further details, see this page.

It is encouraged that the submission be processed in LaTeX2e according to the instructions listed on Springer's web site. These instructions are mandatory for the final papers. Submitted papers must be in PDF format and should be submitted electronically. A detailed description of the electronic submission procedure will be announced at the conference homepage.
