Architecture and Hardware for Security Applications (AHSA)

Special Session Scope

The scope of this special session is on all views of hardware-oriented security. The session provides an excellent opportunity to present new results from both the research and industry communities. Of special interests are contributions that describe new methods for secure-and-efficient hardware implementations for embedded systems, hardware Trojans – insertion/detection methodologies, side channel analysis, fault attacks, security of Industrial Internet of Things, security of IoT etc. The topics of this special session include but are not limited to:

• Applications of secure hardware
• Attacks against hardware implementations and countermeasures
• Hardware Trojans and detection techniques
• IC Trust and anti-Counterfeiting
• Reverse engineering and hardware obfuscation
• Hardware security primitives: PUFs and TRNGs
• Security architectures in Embedded Systems
• Protection of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
• Protection of Internet of Things (IoT)
• Crypto implementations in area constrained environments
• Processors for smart card security
• Secure life cycle management
• Energy-aware secure architectures
• Security architectures for pervasive computing and wireless applications/protocols
• Trusted computing platforms
• Secure System-on-Chip (SoC) designs
• Lightweight cryptography and implementations
• Vehicular security hardware implementations
• Hardware architectures for cryptanalysis
• Reconfigurable cryptographic primitives
• Performance evaluation of secure hardware

Submission Guidelines

Authors are encouraged to submit their manuscripts via EasyChair web service at web page https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dsd2021. Each manuscript should include the complete paper text, all illustrations, and references. The manuscript should conform to the IEEE format: single-spaced, double column, US letter page size, 10-point size Times Roman font, up to 8 pages. In order to conduct a blind review, no indication of the authors' names should appear in the manuscript, references included.
