WELCOME TO
THEORY OF IMPLEMENTATION SECURITY (TIs) WORKSHOP
The Internet of Things (IoT) involves communication networks of different types: people-to-people, people-to-things and things-to-things. Securing these communication networks against various types of attacks forms today a significant part of the security and privacy research. By definition, IoT systems and devices are easily accessible for attackers. This increases the importance of their security against physical attacks. This workshop is dedicated to research on the design of cryptographic algorithms and implementations secure against physical attacks.

The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research results on the following topics of interest:

Physical attacks and countermeasures
Efficient and secure implementations of cryptographic algorithms
Designs of cryptographic algorithms with physical attack resistance
A special topic of interest is:

Advances in theory and practice of Threshold Implementations
Submissions with novel results on Threshold Implementations (TIs) are particularly encouraged to celebrate the 10th anniversary since the method has been proposed as a countermeasure to provide side-channel resistance.

Important Dates
Paper submission deadline: July 22, 2016 (23:59 UTC-11)
Notification deadline: September 2, 2016
Camera ready deadline: September 11, 2016
