Scope

CARDIS has been the venue for security experts from industry and academia to exchange on security of smart cards and related applications since 1994. Smart cards play an increasingly important role in our day-to-day life through their use in banking cards, SIM cards, electronic passports, and IoT devices. It is thus naturally of utmost importance to understand their security features and to develop sound protocols and countermeasures while keeping reasonable performance. In this respect, CARDIS aims to gather security experts from industry, academia, and standardization bodies to make steps forward in the field of embedded security.

The 21st edition of CARDIS is organized by the Centre for Cyber Security and Privacy of the University of Birmingham in Birmingham, UK. CARDIS 2022 will be accompanied by a one-day Fall School event..
