IEEE International Symposium on Hardware Oriented Security and Trust (HOST) aims to facilitate the rapid growth of hardware-based security research and development. HOST highlights new results in the area of hardware and system security. Relevant research topics include techniques, tools, design/test methods, architectures, circuits, and applications of secure hardware. HOST 2017 invites original contributions related to, but not limited by, the following topics.

• Hardware Trojan attacks, detection techniques and countermeasures
• Hardware techniques to facilitate software and/or system security
• Hardware-based security primitives (PUFs, RNGs)
• FPGA and system-on-chip (SoC) security
• Side-channel attacks and protection
• Security, privacy, and trust protocols
• Metrics, policies, and standards related to hardware security
• Hardware IP trust (watermarking, metering, trust verification)
• Trusted manufacturing including split manufacturing and 3D ICs
• Security analysis and protection of Internet of Things (IoT)
• Secure and efficient implementation of crypto algorithms
• Reverse engineering and hardware obfuscation
• Supply chain risks mitigation (e.g., counterfeit detection & avoidance)
• Hardware tampering attacks and protection
• Applications of hardware security to secure system development
