Security and reliability – friend or foe

Security and reliability are more closely related than one might expect. The goal of this paper is to study interesting research topics at the boundaries between the two domains. Reliability concerns can benefit security to e.g. improve the performance of PUFs and TRNGs. Reliability issues can also trigger new security breaches, e.g. enabling Rowhammer or fault injection attacks. Co-optimizing security and reliability, these two communities need to work closer together.
