The Workshop on RFID Security 2009 is the fifth edition of a series of workshops held in Graz, Malaga and Budapest. This year it will take place in Leuven, Belgium. The event will be co-located with the final public event of the BRIDGE project - Protection of RFID/EPC Systems and with the ECRYPT2 workshop - Secure RFID: Industry Perspectives.

Call for Papers (PDF Version)
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.
Security issues are a challenge for RFID to become an enabling technology for the Internet of things. The Workshop on RFID Security 2009 will help to bridge the gap between researchers and developers. Submissions both from academia and industry are appreciated.

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, …
