The goal of the PROOFS workshop is to promote methodologies that increase the confidence in the security of embedded systems, especially those which contain cryptographic algorithms. Concretely, the PROOFS workshop seeks contributions in both theory and practice of methods and tools applied to the security of embedded systems. Examples include (semi-)formal methods, simulation-based leakage evaluation and security checks, protocol verification techniques, test and verification of secure embedded systems (software and hardware), and provable security for physical attacks.

This year, we solicit research papers on topics covering well-motivated computer security problems. Techniques which identify real-world threats, detect them, mitigate them or analyse the consequences will remain the major target of the workshop.
