The billions of tiny, globally-distributed microchips, circuit boards, and other electronic components of hardware systems are becoming more sophisticated with numerous security vulnerabilities. The equally numerous IoT devices and smartphones connected to the internet have their own weaknesses as well.
Large architectures are vulnerable too. As critical systems like power plants, water treatment facilities, HVAC systems, robotics, and other IoT platforms face unrelenting cyberattacks, the need has never been greater for techniques, tools, design and test methods, architectures, and circuits designed to strengthen hardware security.
What is unique about the HOST conference?
The IEEE International Symposium on Hardware Oriented Security and Trust (HOST) has become the premier annual event for researchers, practitioners, students, and users from the computer security, microelectronics, and electronic design automation communities.
What can attendees expect from the HOST 2020 technical program?
Hardware plays an integral role in cyber and system security with many emerging vulnerabilities and defense mechanisms targeting hardware. HOST gives attendees the chance to come together and discuss cutting-edge ideas, emerging research, and technologies in all areas of overlap between hardware and security.
What’s new about this year’s HOST conference?
For the first time in its twelve-year history, HOST will offer an industrial exhibition paired with its popular student hardware demo sessions.
Anything else?
HOST 2020 will take place in the Bay Area for the first time since 2012, and will feature an exciting 3.5-day program consisting of technical papers, invited talks from influential leaders and decision-makers, panels, and tutorials from the field’s top experts.
