Workshop on Sustainability in Security, Security for Sustainability

Co-located with Design, Automation and Test in Europe Conference | The European Event for Electronic System Design & Test

March 18 2022, Online

Organizers

Elif Bilge Kavun, University of Passau, Germany

Francesco Regazzoni, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and Università della Svizzera italiana, Switzerland

Aim and Scope:

Security is a fundamental extra-functional requirement that systems should provide. As such, it should be implemented in a sustainable way, namely achieving at least a very limited energy consumption, and being at least capable of supporting crypto-agility (so to allow updates of security primitives rather than replacement of whole devices). These two properties are challenging to offer in security, since several attacks and weaknesses are discovered every day and simple updates could not be sufficient to defeat them. The situation is further complicated by the fact that, in this moment, families of cryptographic algorithm are being replaced by novel standards (such as the post quantum one). Security can even be of great help to support sustainability, for instance by allowing secure update of devices and enabling maintenance that would extend the devices live. Yet, support for these features should be studied in depth and fully understood to avoid the involuntary insertion of security weaknesses. This workshop addresses the relation between sustainability and security from both sides, discussing what can be done to make security more sustainable and presenting what security can offer to make electronic devices more sustainable.
