Support for the International Symposium on Hardware-Oriented Security and Trust (HOST)

我们所依赖的许多计算基础设施的平台是安全可靠的。硬件是软件运行的最基本的抽象层。受信任的硬件平台构成了成功部署和操作这些基础设施的骨干。近年来的研究表明，随着篡改和逆向工程技术的成熟，保证这些组件的信任和安全的挑战也在增加。面向硬件的安全与信任国际研讨会（HOST）旨在继续发挥其作为首要论坛的作用，为应对这些挑战提供新颖的解决方案。安全攻击越来越复杂，并且越来越多地以硬件为目标。嵌入电子设计的后门可以允许悄无声息地侵入系统。此外，利用侧信道信号的新形式的攻击正在开发中。此外，知识产权（IP）保护正在成为全球化、横向半导体商业模式的主要关注点。这项活动的智力价值包括本科生和研究生的专业发展以及研讨会的持续增长。2017年主办方将在华盛顿特区都会区举行，筹备工作已经开始。该项目为36名学生提供参加HOST 2017的旅行支持（即注册、交通和住宿）。他们的出席使他们能够了解最新的工具、设计方法、架构、电路和安全硬件的新应用。以前研讨会的技术贡献涵盖了以下主题：(1)伪造检测和避免，(2)侧信道分析和故障分析，(3)加密的硬件架构，以及(4)物理不可克隆功能（puf）。旅行补助金将鼓励更多的学生考虑提交技术报告，参加向大量不同观众展示硬件的活动，甚至将参加会议作为准备今后几年提交技术报告的手段。

Many computing infrastructures on which we depend rely on the platforms being secure and trustworthy. Hardware is at the most fundamental abstraction level on which software runs. Trusted hardware platforms comprise the backbone for successful deployment and operation of these infrastructures. Research in recent years shows that as tampering and reverse engineering mature in their sophistication, the challenges in guaranteeing the trust and security of these components also grow. The International Symposium on Hardware-Oriented Security and Trust (HOST) aims to continue its role as a premiere forum that invites novel solutions to address these challenges. Security attacks are growing in sophistication, and increasingly target hardware. Backdoors inserted into electronic designs can allow for silent intrusion into the system. Furthermore, new forms of attacks that exploit side-channel signals are being developed. In addition, intellectual-property (IP) protection is becoming a major concern in the globalized, horizontal semiconductor business model. The intellectual merit of this proposed activity includes professional development for undergraduate and graduate students as well as continued growth of the symposium. Preparation has begun for HOST 2017 to be held in the Washington, DC Metro Area. This project provides opportunities for 36 students to receive travel support (i.e., registration, transportation, and lodging) to attend HOST 2017. Their attendance enables them to learn about the latest tools, design methods, architectures, circuits, and novel applications of secure hardware. Technical contributions from previous symposia have covered topics such as: (1) counterfeit detection and avoidance, (2) side channel analysis and fault analysis, (3) hardware architectures for cryptography, and (4) physically unclonable functions (PUFs). The travel grants would encourage more students to consider a technical submission, participation in hardware demonstration to a large diverse audience, or even to attend as a means to prepare for a technical submission in future years.
