CALL FOR PAPERS
-----------------------

Embedded computing systems are widely adopted in application areas ranging
from safety-critical
systems to vital information management. The inherent characteristics of
embedded systems and the
advent of Internet-enabled devices introduce a large number of security
issues. Embedded systems are
vulnerable to remote intrusion, power and timing attacks, hijacking, etc.
These vulnerabilities are
different from traditional workstation security issues due to the physical
properties, applications, and
performance limitations of embedded systems.

This workshop provides a forum for researchers to present novel ideas on
addressing security issues
that arise in embedded systems. Of particular interest are security topics
that are unique to embedded
systems. Such topics include but are not limited to:
	- Security architectures for embedded systems
	- Security of Internet-enabled embedded systems
	- Security planning and provisioning in embedded systems
	- Power-related attacks and countermeasures
	- Timing-related attacks and countermeasures
	- Novel attacks and countermeasures
	- Security of sensor networks
	- Benchmarks for embedded system security
	- Case studies

Accepted papers will be provided as proceedings to workshop participants.
The main goal of the
workshop is to stimulate discussion among participants.
