New Directions in Hardware Security

Summary form only. Over the last decade, Hardware Security has developed to become one of the major research areas in Electronics and Computer Engineering and Computer Science. Hardware Security research deals with cutting-edge problems and their solutions in the domains of Detection and Prevention against Hardware Trojans, Counterfeit Electronics Detection and Prevention, Hardware Intellectual Property (IP) Protection, etc. The formidable challenges of this research domain have attracted a large number of researchers from both academia and the industry globally to this field, as proven by the increasing number of submissions on hardware security in the leading international conferences and journals. Fruitful research in this area will have a direct influence on making the world a safer place to live in, and a better place to do business. This special session will present a glimpse of cutting-edge research performed in the area of hardware security from four leading researchers in this field.
