(TUBITAK-UEKAE). Theworkshopattractedarecordnumberof47submissionsfrom23countries, of which the Program Committee selected 17 for publication in the workshop proceedings,resulting in an acceptance rateof 40%. The review process followed strict standards: each paper received at least three reviews. The Program C- mittee included 31 members representing 13 countries and 5 continents. These members were carefully selected to represent academia, industry, and gove- ment,aswellastoincludeworld-classexpertsinvariousresearch?eldsofinterest to RFIDSec. The Program Committee was supported by 38 external reviewers. Additionally, the workshop included three excellent invited talks. Ari Juels from RSA Laboratories discussed his vision of RFID security, in a talk entitled “The Physical Basis of RFID Security. ” Pim Tuyls from Intrinsic-ID described his experiences in a talk entitled “Hardware Intrinsic Security. ” Serge Vaudenay from EPFL discussed his vision of privacy in RFID systems in a talk entitled “Privacy Models for RFID Schemes. ” I deeply thank A. Murat Apohan and Serhat Sa? gd?co? ¸ glu, the General Chair and Co-chair of RFIDSec 2010, for their excellent and always timely work on managing the local organization and orchestrating conference logistics. I would liketodeeplythank theSteeringCommittee ofRFIDSec fortheirtrust,constant support, guidance, and kind advice on many occasions.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 9th Workshop on RFID Security and Privacy, RFIDsec 2013, held in Graz, Austria, in July 2013. The 11 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 23 submissions. RFIDsec deals with topics of importance to improving the security and privacy of RFID, NFC, contactless technologies, and the Internet of Things. RFIDsec bridges the gap between cryptographic researchers and RFID developers.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-worksop proceedings of the 8th International Workshop Radio Frequency Identification: Security and Privacy Issues, RFIDSec 2012, held in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, in July 2012. The 12 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions for inclusion in the book. The papers focus on approaches to solve security and data protection issues in advanced contactless technologies.

This book constitutes the refereed post-proceedings of the 10th Workshop on RFID Security and Privacy, RFIDSec 2014, held in Oxford, UK, in 2014. The 9 revised full papers and 4 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. The papers deal with topics such as RFID power-efficiency, privacy, authentication and side channels, and key exchange.

In the beginning of 2003, I found a short article about the privacy implications of RFID technology in a newspaper. It raised my interest, and after reading some early research papers on the topic, I thought: “There must exist better solutions. ” I c- cerned myself with the topic in my spare time. After having developed my rst - lutions, I asked my supervisor, Prof. Dr. Paul Muller ̈ , whether I could write a paper about my results. As the topic did not t into any running project or at least the overall research directions of his group, he could have answered no. But instead, he encouraged me to do it. The paper became a success, and many other papers about new concepts and solutions followed. Now the answer is obvious: There exist better solutions. I have dealt with the topic over the past years. Now I want to share the basics as well as current research results with the reader. This book is surely not a bedside reading. But with all the presented concepts, it can broaden the mind of the reader concerning security,privacy, and RFIDsystems. Iwishthe reader many new insights. There are many people I would like to thank. First of all, my thanks go to my ̈ supervisor, Prof. Dr. Paul Muller. He gave me room for creativity and plenty of rope to work on my own.

Security issues in distributed systems and network systems are extremely important. This edited book provides a comprehensive treatment on security issues in these systems, ranging from attacks to all kinds of solutions from prevention to detection approaches. The books includes security studies in a range of systems including peer-to-peer networks, distributed systems, Internet, wireless networks, Internet service, e-commerce, mobile and pervasive computing. Security issues in these systems include attacks, malicious node detection, access control, authentication, intrusion detection, privacy and anonymity, security architectures and protocols, security theory and tools, secrecy and integrity, and trust models. This volume provides an excellent reference for students, faculty, researchers and people in the industry related to these fields.

The increasing reliance on sophisticated computer technology for the management of data and information in developed and developing societies means that security and privacy technologies are also of great importance everywhere in the world. This book presents papers from the 2014 Workshop on Radio Frequency Identification System Security, RFIDsec’14 Asia, held in Hualien, Taiwan, in November 2014. This workshop aimed to provide researchers, enterprises and governments with a platform to investigate, discuss and propose new solutions for the security and privacy issues of technologies and applications related to RFID and the Internet of Things (IoT). Topics covered include the implementation of passive UHF RFID tags; practical NFC privacy-preserving applications; the design of multi-ownership transfer protocols; and lightweight authentication of RFID. The five high-quality papers included here will be of interest to all those involved in improving the security of computerized systems, wherever they are.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 11th International Workshop on Radio Frequency Identification held in New York, USA, in June 2015. The 10 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 23 submissions and are organized in topical sections on PUFs and applications, side-channels and countermeasures, RFID system attacks, and efficient implementations.

The book covers many topics, including unconditionally secure RFID systems, dynamic RFID tag authentication, RFID ownership transfer, fingerprinting RFID tags, and secure RFID-supported supply chains.
