          7th WORKSHOP ON EMBEDDED SYSTEMS SECURITY (WESS 2012)

          A Workshop of the Embedded Systems Week (ESWEEK 2012)
                   October 12, 2012, Tampere, Finland
                      http://www.wess-workshop.org

========================================================================

Motivation
----------
Embedded computing systems are continuously adopted in a wide range of
application areas and importantly, they are responsible for a large
number of safety-critical systems as well as for the management of
critical information. The advent of Internet-enabled embedded systems
introduces a large number of security issues: the Internet can be used
to attack embedded systems and embedded systems can be used to attack
the Internet. Furthermore, embedded systems are vulnerable to many
attacks not relevant to servers because they are physically accessible.
Inadvertent threats due to bugs, improper system use, etc. can also
have effects that are indistinguishable from malicious attacks.

This workshop will address the range of problems related to embedded
systems security. Of particular interest are security topics that are
unique to embedded systems. The workshop will provide printed
proceedings to the participants and will encourage discussion and debate
about all aspects of embedded systems security.

Topics of Interest
------------------
- Trust models for secure embedded hardware and software
- Isolation techniques for secure embedded hardware, hyperware and
  software
- System architectures for secure embedded devices
- Metrics for secure design of embedded hardware and software
- Security issues for automotive, medical and other applications of
  embedded systems
- Support for intellectual property protection and anti-counterfeiting
- Specialized components for authentication, generation and storage of
  cryptographic keys
- Support for secure debugging and testing
- Implementation attacks (e.g. SPA, DPA, DFA) and countermeasures
- Design tools and flows for secure embedded hardware and software
- Hardware/software co-design for secure embedded systems
- Specialized hardware support for security protocols
- Efficient and secure implementation of cryptographic primitives
- Reverse engineering of embedded systems

Submission Instructions
-----------------------
The proceedings of the workshop will be published by the ACM. Papers
must be submitted in PDF form through the EDAS system (see link below).
Submitted papers should present original research that is unpublished
and not submitted for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be
reviewed by three members of the program committee. Papers should be no
more than 10 pages in two-column ACM format. Templates for the
submission of papers can be found at the ACM website. To submit a paper
