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都依赖于安全可靠的平台。硬件处于软件运行的最基本抽象级别。可信的硬件平台构成了这些基础设施成功部署和运行的主干。近年来的研究表明，随着篡改和反向工程的成熟，确保这些组件的信任和安全的挑战也越来越大。面向硬件的安全和信任国际研讨会(东道主)旨在继续发挥其作为主要论坛的作用，邀请新的解决方案来应对这些挑战。安全攻击正在变得越来越复杂，并且越来越多地针对硬件。插入到电子设计中的后门可以允许静默入侵系统。此外，正在开发利用旁路信号的新形式的攻击。此外，在全球化的横向半导体商业模式中，知识产权(IP)保护正成为一个主要问题。这项拟议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年东道主将在华盛顿特区大都会地区举行，筹备工作已经开始。该项目为36名学生提供了参加东道主2017年的旅行支持(即注册、交通和住宿)的机会。他们的出席使他们能够了解安全硬件的最新工具、设计方法、体系结构、电路和新的应用。以往研讨会的技术贡献涉及以下主题：(1)伪造品检测和避免，(2)侧通道分析和故障分析，(3)密码学的硬件架构，以及(4)物理不可克隆函数(PUF)。旅行补助金将鼓励更多的学生考虑提交技术报告，参加面向众多不同观众的硬件演示，甚至参加，以此作为准备未来几年技术提交的一种手段。

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.
