The ninth Smart Card Research and Advanced Application IFIP Conference,
organized by IFIP Working Groups WG 8.8 and WG 11.2, will be held in
Passau, Germany, by the Institute of IT-Security and Security Law (ISL)
of the University of Passau. Since 1994, CARDIS has been the foremost
international conference dedicated to smart card research and
applications. Every two years the scientific community congregates to
present new ideas and to discuss recent developments.

CARDIS'10 will bring together leading researchers and practitioners in
the development and deployment of state-of-the-art smart card
technologies. The fast evolutionary process in the field of information
security requires adequate means to represent humans in the process of
human-machine interactions. Smart cards, or by extension smart devices
with their processing power and their direct correlation to the user are
considered to be the first choice. Established computer science areas
like hardware design, operating systems, modelling systems, cryptography
or distributed systems got adapted to this fast growing technology and
investigate emerging issues resulting from it.

Unlike events devoted to commercial and application aspects of smart
cards, CARDIS conferences gather researchers and technologists who
focused on all aspects of the design, development, deployment,
validation and application of smart cards or smart personal devices.

-----------------
Conference Scope:
-----------------

The program committee is seeking papers describing the design,
development, application and validation of smart card technologies.
Submissions across a broad range of smart card development phases are
encouraged, from exploratory research and proof-of-concept studies to
practical applications and deployment of smart card technology. A
special interest is devoted to the new programming paradigm proposed by
Java Card 3.0 Connected Edition which offers new opportunities but also
new security issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- From smart cards to smart devices (hardware, form factor, display)
- Software environments for smart cards and devices (OS, VM, API)
- Smart cards and devices networking and high-level data models
- Smart cards and devices applications, development and deployment
- Person representation and biometrics using smart technologies
- Identity, privacy and trust issues for smart technologies
- High-speed, small-footprint implementations of cryptographic algorithms
- Attacks and countermeasures in hardware and software
- Cryptographic protocols for smart cards and devices
- Formal modelling of environments and applications
- Interplay of TPMs and smart cards
- Security of RFID systems
- Open source development for smart card

Important Dates:
----------------

- Submission of papers: November 16th
- Notification of acceptance: January 11th
- Camera-ready version of papers: January 25th
- Workshop date: April 13-16th, 2010

----------------------------------
Papers submission and proceedings:
----------------------------------

Submitted papers should present novel contributions related to the
topics listed above. They must be original, unpublished, anonymous and
not submitted to another conference or journal for consideration of
publication. Papers must be written in English, they should not exceed
15 pages. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection
without consideration of their merits. All submissions will be
blind-refereed. Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts (PDF or
PS format) by filling in the submission form available on the following
web site: (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cardis2010)

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 volume.
