                      Second Call for Papers

General Information

The focus of this workshop is on all aspects of cryptographic hardware
and security in embedded systems. The workshop will be a forum of new
results from the research community as well as from the industry. Of
special interest are contributions that describe new methods for
efficient hardware implementations and high-speed software for
embedded systems, e.g., smart cards, microprocessors, DSPs, etc. We
hope that the workshop will help to fill the gap between the
cryptography research community and the application areas of
cryptography. Consequently, we encourage submissions from academia,
industry, and other organizations. All submitted papers will be
reviewed.

This will be the fourth CHES workshop. CHES '99 and CHES 2000 were
held at WPI, and CHES 2001 was held in Paris. The number of
participants has grown to more than 200, with attendees coming from
industry, academia, and government organizations. The topics of CHES
2002 include but are not limited to:

   * Computer architectures for public-key and secret-key cryptosystems
   * Efficient algorithms for embedded processors
   * Reconfigurable computing in cryptography
   * Cryptographic processors and co-processors
   * Cryptography in wireless applications (mobile phone, LANs, etc.)
   * Security in pay-TV systems
   * Smart card attacks and architectures
   * Tamper resistance on the chip and board level
   * True and pseudo random number generators
   * Special-purpose hardware for cryptanalysis
   * Embedded security
   * Device identification



Instructions for Authors

Authors are invited to submit original papers. The preferred
submission form is by electronic mail to
submission@chesworkshop.org. The submissions must be anonymous, with
no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious
references. Papers should be formatted in 12pt type and not exceed 12
pages (not including the title page and the bibliography). Please
submit the paper in Postscript or PDF, together with an extra file
containing the email and physical address of the authors, and an
indication of the corresponding author. We recommend that you generate
the PS or PDF file using LaTeX, however, MS Word is also
acceptable. All submissions will be refereed. Only original research
contributions will be considered. Submissions must not substantially
duplicate work that any of the authors have published elsewhere or
have submitted in parallel to any other conferences or workshops that
have proceedings.
