Smart Cards: Technology, Applications and Security

The Sheraton Reston Hotel, 11810 Sunrise Valley Drive, Reston, Virginia


THEME:
The 7th CACR Information Security Workshop, titled Smart Cards: Technology, Applications and Security, will be held on Wednesday, April 25, 2001 at the Sheraton Reston, Reston, Virginia and hosted by Certicom Corp. Topics that will be covered include:

  • State of the Industry - who are the players, who are the customers, what are the applications, what are the issues for wide scale deployment
  • Latest in smart card technology such as multi application operating systems, processors, etc.
  • Update on active and passive security attacks such as DPA, fault analysis, etc and the latest and best means to counter these attacks
  • Information Assurance
  • Applications such as financial, transportation, and health care
  • Integration of biometrics, encryption and smart cards

With the mobility that we have today with anywhere, anytime access to myriad applications via the wired and wireless Internet and Intranets, smart cards provide a perfect form factor for storing individual user's private information such as digital certificates, public and private keys, and health care and financial details, and for processing financial and other transactions.

The series of Information Security Workshops is organized by the University of Waterloo's CACR (Centre for Applied Cryptographic Research) (url: www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca) and has been established to provide a highly focused and content full program covering topics of interest to the sponsors' customers, potential customers and employees. The targeted attendee is an individual with a solid background in information security, with two plus years of experience in developing or deploying information security solutions for electronic commerce or other applications. This individual understands some of the issues and challenges (short term and long term) in this area and attends the workshop in order to gain exposure to different approaches (including specific vendor's approaches) or technology and understand the availability of such, thereby expanding the "tools" in his or her respective tool box.

This workshop is the 7th in the series. Agendas and presentations from previous workshops can be found at www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca under conferences.
