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
