Many computing infrastructures on which we depend rely on the hardware 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. 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 2018 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 2018. 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.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

我们所依赖的许多计算基础设施都依赖于安全且值得信赖的硬件。硬件处于软件运行的最基本的抽象级别。可信硬件平台构成了这些基础设施成功部署和运营的支柱。近年来的研究表明，随着篡改和逆向工程的复杂性日趋成熟，保证这些组件的信任和安全性的挑战也随之增加。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，邀请新颖的解决方案来应对这些挑战。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发展。在华盛顿特区都会区举办的 HOST 2018 的筹备工作已经开始。该项目为 36 名学生提供参加 HOST 2018 的差旅支持（即注册、交通和住宿）的机会。他们的出席使他们能够了解最新的工具、设计方法、架构、电路和安全硬件的新颖应用。之前研讨会的技术贡献涵盖了以下主题：(1) 伪造品检测和避免，(2) 侧信道分析和故障分析，(3) 密码学硬件架构，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，参与向广泛的不同受众进行硬件演示，甚至将参加作为为未来几年的技术提交做准备的一种手段。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
