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.

Topics of interest include:
- System security aspects related to any emerging application area of constrained platforms, e.g. Internet-of-Things, cyber-physical systems, e-health devices, etc.
- Implementations of cryptography and protocols with constrained resources in terms of energy, power, computation resources and memory footprint
- Secure software and hardware architectures and software for embedded constrained devices and systems
- Side-channel, tamper and reverse-engineering resistant designs and countermeasures for constrained platforms
- Physical-layer security and contextual authentication/pairing for constrained devices
- User-centric security issues, e.g. continuous user authentication, user-centric data privacy management, user consent for pervasively sensed data, etc.
- Design issues related to reliability and scalability of security services in large systems, e.g. key management, device updates and security life cycle
