This book constitutes the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Codes, Cryptology and Information Security, C2SI 2017, held in Rabat, Morocco, in April 2017. The 19 regular papers presented together with 5 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 72 submissions. The first aim of this conference is to pay homage to Claude Carlet for his valuable contribution in teaching and disseminating knowledge in coding theory and cryptography worldwide, especially in Africa. The second aim of the conference is to provide an international forum for researchers from academia and practitioners from industry from all over the world for discussion of all forms of cryptology, coding theory and information security.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has contributed greatly to the growth of data traffic on the Internet. Access technologies and object constraints associated with the IoT can cause performance and security problems. This relates to important challenges such as the control of radio communications and network access, the management of service quality and energy consumption, and the implementation of security mechanisms dedicated to the IoT. In response to these issues, this book presents new solutions for the management and control of performance and security in the IoT. The originality of these proposals lies mainly in the use of intelligent techniques. This notion of intelligence allows, among other things, the support of object heterogeneity and limited capacities as well as the vast dynamics characterizing the IoT.

This work provides an assessment of the current state of near field communication (NFC) security, it reports on new attack scenarios, and offers concepts and solutions to overcome any unresolved issues. The work describes application-specific security aspects of NFC based on exemplary use-case scenarios and uses these to focus on the interaction with NFC tags and on card emulation. The current security architectures of NFC-enabled cellular phones are evaluated with regard to the identified security aspects.
