Scope

The emergence of a globalized, horizontal semiconductor business model raises a set of concerns involving the security and trust of the information systems on which modern society is increasingly reliant for mission-critical functionality. Hardware-oriented security and trust (HOST) issues span a broad range including threats related to the malicious insertion of Trojan circuits designed, e.g., to act as a 'kill switch' to disable a chip, to integrated circuit (IC) piracy, and to attacks designed to extract encryption keys and IP from a chip. HOST covers security and trust issues in all types of electronic devices and systems such as ASICs, COTS, FPGAs, microprocessors/DSPs, and embedded systems. The mission of HOST is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of research that is of critical significance to the security of, and trust in, modern society's microelectronic-supported infrastructures.

The IEEE International Symposium on Hardware-Oriented Security and Trust (HOST 2010) provides an open forum for discussions on all issues related to hardware security and trust. Papers and presentations that address any of the following "hot topics" are of high interest to the symposium. Papers addressing HOST issues outside of these areas will be considered equally relevant in the review process.

Trojan Detection and Isolation
Authenticating Foundry of Origin
Side Channel Analysis/Attacks
Watermarking
FPGA Design Security
Hardward Focused Cryptography
IC Metering

Physical Unclonable Functions
Embedded and Distributed Systems Security
Hardware Intrusion Detection and Prevention
Security Engineering
Scan-chain Encryption
IP Security & Trust

Submissions

To present at the symposium, submit an Acrobat (PDF) version of your paper via the Easy-Chair webpage at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=host2010. Note that extended abstracts will be at a disadvantage. The maximum page limit is 6, double column, IEEE format, minimum 10 pt font size. Your paper MUST NOT identify the author(s) anywhere on the manuscript, with all references to the author(s)'s own previous work in the citations being in the 3rd person. Accepted papers will appear in IEEE Xplore. Proposals for Embedded Tutorials, Debates, Panel Discussion, or "Spot-Light" presentations describing industrial experiences are also invited.
