Started in 2005, RFIDsec has become the premier venue devoted to security and privacy of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). The nature of radio-enabled item identification and automatic data capture has significantly changed over the years driven by the interest in overarching applications such as the Internet-of-Things and cyber-physical systems. As such, RFIDsec has also broadened its scope and seeks papers describing any contributions to security and privacy in any application area related to any constrained devices, such as sensor nodes, smart wearables, smart cards, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and RFID tags.

RFIDSec will accept full and short papers (14 and 8 pages in LNCS format). Short papers describe high-quality novel ideas with the potential to stimulate discussion and initiate new directions within the field, but due to their exploratory nature might not have been fully investigated and evaluated yet.

The proceedings will be published as a Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Authors of accepted papers with outstanding results of particular interest for the community will receive a special invitation to submit an extended version of their work to IEEE Transactions on Computers. At least 40% of substantial new material has to be added to the journal submission, and the final manuscript should be in the current scope of the journal.
