Started in 2005, RFIDsec has become the premier venue devoted to
security and privacy of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). The
nature of radio-enabled item identification and automatic data capture
has significantly changed over the years driven by the interest in
overarching applications such as the Internet-of-Things and
cyber-physical systems. As such, RFIDsec has also broadened its scope
and seeks papers describing any contributions to security and privacy
in any application area related to any constrained wireless devices,
such as sensor nodes, smart wearables, contactless smart cards,
programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and RFID tags.

Topics of interest include:

- System security aspects related to any emerging application area of
constrained platforms, e.g. Internet-of-Things, cyber-physical
systems, e-health devices, etc.
- Implementations of cryptography and protocols with constrained
resources in terms of energy, power, computation resources and memory
footprint
- Secure hardware and software architectures for embedded constrained
devices and systems
- Side-channel, tamper and reverse-engineering resistant designs and
countermeasures for constrained platforms
- Physical-layer security and contextual authentication/pairing for
constrained devices.
- User-centric security issues, e.g. continuous user authentication,
user-centric data privacy management, user consent for pervasively
sensed data, etc.
- New applications and ideas related to traditional RFID application
areas such as payment, identity and  logistics, e.g. new approaches to
proximity payments channels (short range audio or visual channels).
- Design issues related to reliability and scalability of security
services in large systems of constrained devices, e.g. key management,
device updates and security life cycle.

RFIDSec will accept full and short papers (14 and 8 pages in LNCS
format). Short papers describe high-quality novel ideas with the
potential to stimulate discussion and initiate new directions within
the field, but due to their exploratory nature might not have been
fully investigated and evaluated yet.

Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to
register and present the paper. The proceedings will be published as a
Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).

Authors of accepted papers with outstanding results of particular
interest for the community will receive a special invitation to submit
an extended version of their work to IEEE Transactions on Computers.
At least 40% of substantial new material has to be added to the
journal submission, and the final manuscript should be in the current
scope of the journal.
