COSADE Workshop

Our research group initiated and organises the annual Workshop on Constructive Side Channel Analysis and Secure Design, alias COSADE. The workshop provides an international platform for researchers, academics, and industry participants to present their work and their current research topics. It is an excellent opportunity to meet experts and to initiate new collaborations and information exchange at a professional level.

COSADE 2010, the first international workshop on constructive side-channel analysis and secure design, took place in Darmstadt on February 4-5, 2010. Co-Chairs were Prof. Dr. Werner Schindler and Prof. Dr. Sorin Huss, and our team was responsible for the local organisation.

Besides 14 contributed talks and two special sessions 3 invited talks were given by the internationally recognised experts Pankaj Rohatgi (Cryptographic Research, USA), Ingrid Verbauwhede (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium) and Stefan Mangard (Siemens, Germany).

COSADE 2010 was visited by 66 particpants (32 from academia, 29 from industry, 5 from government), exceeding even optimistic expectations. COSADE 2011 is already agreed and will take place in Darmstadt, too.
