IEEE International Symposium on Hardware Oriented Security and Trust (HOST)
Washington, DC
May 3-6 2027

This premier event aims to facilitate the rapid growth of hardware security research and development.

Topics of Interest

  • AI and Hardware Security: e.g., AI for hardware security enforcement or finding hardware vulnerabilities, hardware security for AI models, new security principles for trustworthy AI
  • Computer-aided Design (CAD) for Hardware Security Verification: e.g., design-time verification, testing, and metrics for hardware security across the lifecycle.
  • Hardware Security Primitives: e.g., PUFs, TRNGs, cryptography, post-quantum cryptography, hardware meters.
  • Hardware Attack and Defense: e.g., hardware Trojans, fault injection, side-channels, hardware reverse engineering, hardware obfuscation.
  • Architecture Security: e.g., architectural side-channels, trusted execution environment, FPGA, and reconfigurable fabric security.
  • System Security: e.g., SoC/IP security, CPS/IoT security, sensor network security, smart grid security, cloud security, secure boot, attestation and device provisioning, provenance, hardware–software co-design for security, trusted update mechanisms.
  • Chiplet, Packaging, and Heterogeneous Integration Security: e.g. advanced packaging security, chiplet/interposer trust, die-to-die interfaces, 2.5D/3D integration.
  • Emerging Security and Privacy Threats and Solutions: e.g., privacy-enhancing architecture, blockchain, quantum platforms, cryptocurrency security, and hardware/system security topics.
