Cryptographic architectures embedded in reconfigurable devices - CryptArchi 2008

General information

The main topic of this sixth workshop concerns security aspects of the use of reconfigurable devices in cryptography. Discussion about cryptographic functions embedded in future FPGA devices will constitute a very important part of the workshop.

Aims of the workshop:

1. Exchange of the most recent information about research activities of participants
2. Discussion of problems concerning embedding of cryptographic functions in reconfigurable devices

control and security aspects
architectural aspects
protocol-related aspects
key generation and key management aspects

3. Proposal for the structure of the future reconfigurable device aimed for cryptographic applications
4. Discussion of problems concerning developing complete and secure embedded cryptographic systems based on reconfigurable devices
5. Educational issues concerning cryptographic systems engineering

courses and their program
educational software and hardware
labs and course projects
