FDTC 2013 - Tenth Workshop on Fault Diagnosis and Tolerance in Cryptography

August 20, 2013, Santa Barbara, CA, USA (co-located with CRYPTO 2013 and CHES 2013)

FDTC 2013 is held in cooperation with IACR (www.iacr.org)

Fault injection is one of the most exploited means for extracting confidential information
from embedded devices and for compromising their intended behavior. Therefore, research
on developing methodologies and techniques for the design of robust cryptographic systems
(both hardware and software), and on protecting them against both accidental faults
and intentional attacks is essential. Of particular interest is the protection against
malicious injection of faults into the device for the purpose of extracting confidential
information. FDTC is the reference event in the field of fault analysis, attacks and
countermeasures.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  - fault injection:
    - mechanisms (e.g., using lasers, electromagnetic induction, or clock / power
      supply manipulation)
    - models of fault injection
    - measures to prevent fault injection (e.g., physical protection, fault diagnosis)

  - fault exploitation:
    - attacks on cryptographic devices (HW and SW) or protocols
    - combined implementation attacks
    - models and analysis (e.g., modeling the reliability of systems or protocols)

  - countermeasures:
    - fault resistant hardware / implementations of cryptographic algorithms
    - countermeasures to detect fault injections and techniques providing fault
      tolerance (inherent reliability)
    - fault resistant protocols

  - case studies of attacks, fault diagnosis, and tolerance techniques

Instructions for authors:

  Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors
  have published elsewhere or that have been submitted in parallel to any other
  conference or workshop. Submissions should be anonymous, with no author
  names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. Papers should
  be from 10 to at most 15 pages (including the bibliography and appendices),
  with at least 11pt font and reasonable margins.

  Submission of final papers will be managed directly by Conference Publishing
  Services (CPS). Final papers must be formatted following the instructions in
  the related author kit (to be communicated). Conference Publishing Services
  (CPS) will contact directly the authors for instructions and will send links
  to the publishing services.

  Accepted papers will be published in an archival proceedings volume by
  Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and will be distributed at the time of
  the workshop.

  At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop
  and present the paper in order to be included in the proceedings.
