Most innovations in the car industry are based on software and electronics, and IT will soon constitute the major production cost factor. It seems almost certain that embedded IT security will be crucial for the next generation of applications. Yet whereas software safety has become a relatively well-established field, the protection of automotive IT systems against manipulation or intrusion has only recently started to emerge.

Lemke, Paar, and Wolf collect in this volume a state-of-the-art overview on all aspects relevant for IT security in automotive applications. After an...

Ad hoc and sensor networks are making their way from research to real-world deployments. Body and personal-area networks, intelligent homes, environmental monitoring or inter-vehicle communications: there is almost nothing left that is not going to be smart and networked. While a great amount of research has been devoted to the pure networking aspects, ad hoc and sensor networks will not be successfully deployed if security, dependability, and privacy issues are not addressed adequately.

As the first book devoted to the topic, this volume constitutes the thoroughly refereed...

These are the pre-proceedings of CHES 2000, the second workshop on Cryp- graphicHardware andEmbedded Systems. The rst workshop, CHES 99, which was held at WPI in August 1999, was received quite enthusiastically by people in academia and industry who are interested in hardware and software imp- mentations of cryptography. We believe there has been a long-standing need for a workshop series combining theory and practice for integrating strong data - curity into modern communications and e-commerce applications. We are very glad that we had the opportunity to serve this purpose and to create the...
