Side-channel analysis (SCA) and implementation attacks have become an important field of research at universities and in the industry. In order to enhance the resistance of cryptographic and security critical implementations within the design phase, constructive attacks and ana lyzing techniques may serve as a quality metric to optimize the design and development process. Since 2010, COSADE provides an international platform for researchers, academics, and industry participants to present their work and their current research topics. It is an excellent opportunity to exchange on new results with international experts and to initiate new collaborations and information exchange at a professional level. The workshop will feature both invited presentations and contributed talks.
The fourth International Workshop on Constructive Side-Channel Analysis and Secure Design, organized and held by Telecom ParisTech, Paris, France. The topics of COSADE 2013 include, but are not limited to:

Constructive side-channel analysis and implementation attacks
Semi-invasive, invasive and fault attacks
Leakage models and security models for side-channel analysis
Cache-attacks and micro-architectural analysis
Decapsulation and preparation techniques
Side-channel based reverse engineering
Leakage Resilient Implementations
Evaluation methodologies for side-channel resistant designs
Secure designs and countermeasures
Evaluation platforms and tools for testing of side-channel characteristics

Submitted papers should present novel contributions related to the topics listed above. They must be original, unpublished, anonymous and not submitted to another conference or journal for consideration of publication. Papers must be written in English, they should not exceed 15 pages. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. All submissions will be blind refereed. Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts (PDF or PS format) by lling in the submission form available on the following web site:

COSADE submissions.

Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. The proceedings will be published as a Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science volume.
