Since its creation, CARDIS has provided a space for security experts from industry and academia to exchange on security of smart cards and related applications. Those objects are part of our daily life for years now: banking cards, SIM cards, electronic passports, etc. But the world is changing; the smartcard, as a secure element is more and more often the hardware root of trust of bigger systems. Their applications and use cases are also increasing through M2M and massive IoT. As such, smartcard-security is key since the security of entire systems relies on it. With the growing use of smartcard technology, the attack surface is also increasing, from physical attacks to logical attacks, from local attacks to remote attacks. Combined attacks are also to be considered. It is more important than ever that we understand how smart cards, and related systems, can be secured.
