The goal of the PROOFS workshop is to promote methodologies that increase the confidence in the security of embedded systems, especially those which contain cryptographic algorithms. Concretely, the PROOFS workshop seeks contributions in both theory and practice of methods and tools applied to the security of embedded systems. Examples include (semi-)formal methods, simulation-based leakage evaluation and security checks, protocol verification techniques, test and verification of secure embedded systems (software and hardware), and provable security for physical attacks.
The workshop is co-located with the Conference on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems (CHES). It will take place one day before the main conference, on August 24th, in Atlanta, USA.
