Call for Papers: IEEE International Symposium on Hardware Oriented Security and Trust (HOST) 2020
IEEE International Symposium on Hardware Oriented Security and Trust (HOST) – the premier event aims to facilitate the rapid growth of hardware-based security research and development and highlight new results in the area of hardware security – has opened the call for contributions. Starting this year, HOST has two submission windows (Aug. 15th and Nov. 15th) with no abstract deadlines and no extensions. The 13th annual HOST will be held 4-8 May 2020 in San Jose, California, the capital of Silicon Valley. HOST 2020 invites original contributions in all areas of overlap between hardware and security. This includes but is not limited to the following:

HARDWARE
· Security primitives
· Computer-aided design (CAD) tools
· Emerging and nanoscale devices
· Trojans and backdoors
· Side-channel attacks and mitigation
· Fault injection and mitigation
· (Anti-)Reverse engineering and physical attacks
· Anti-tamper
· Anti-counterfeit

ARCHITECTURE
· Trusted execution environments
· Cache-side channel attacks and mitigation
· Privacy-preserving computation
· System-on-chip (SoC)/platform security
· FPGA and reconfigurable fabric security
· Cloud computing
· Smart phones and smart devices

SYSTEM
· Internet-of-things (IoT) security
· Sensors and sensor network security
· Smart grid security
· Automotive/autonomous vehicle security
· Cyber-physical system security
· (Adversarial) Machine learning and cyber deception
