The IEEE International Symposium on Hardware Oriented Security and Trust (HOST) - the premier event aiming to facilitate the rapid growth of hardware security research and development - is set to take place in May 2024 in Washington D.C. Attendees can look forward to a diverse range of technical sessions from original and novel contributions, informative tutorials, captivating exhibitions and hardware demonstrations, and exciting competitions, including the microelectronic security competition and PhD dissertation competition. HOST 2024 invites original contributions in all areas of overlap between hardware and security, including but not limited to the following:

Computer-aided Design (CAD) for Hardware Security Verification
e.g., automatic techniques and metrics for life cycle security management and detecting security vulnerabilities.
Hardware Security Primitives
e.g., PUFs, TRNGs, cryptography, post-quantum cryptography, odometers.
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., machine learning security, SoC/IP security, CPS/IoT security, sensor network security, smart grid security, cloud security.
Emerging or Other Topics
e.g., privacy-enhancing architecture, cryptocurrency security, and other hardware/system security topics.
