General Information:
LightSEC 2014 will promote and initiate novel research on the security & privacy issues for applications that can be termed as lightweight security, due to the associated constraints on metrics such as available power, energy, computing ability, area, execution time, and memory requirements. As such applications are becoming ubiquitous, providing an immense value to society, they are also affecting a greater portion of the public & leading to a plethora of economical & security and privacy related concerns. LightSec 2014 will be held in cooperation with the International Association of Cryptologic Research (IACR).
