Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The attack surface of computing devices is becoming very sophisticated, a trend which is driven by two major factors. The first is the rapid increase in the number of connected devices. In fact, in 2019, a staggering 2.9 billion cyberattacks on Internet-of-Things devices were recorded. The second factor is the remarkable growth of outsourcing in the hardware supply chain, which has brought about serious challenges in the form of new security attacks, particularly IC counterfeit and hardware trojan insertion. Topics of interest in this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Supply chain risk mitigation, including counterfeit detection and avoidance;
- Hardware trojan attacks, detection techniques, and countermeasures;
- Hardware-based security primitives;
- Side-channel attacks and protection;
- Hardware IP trust (watermarking, metering, trust verification);
- Trusted manufacturing;
- Reverse engineering and hardware obfuscation;
- Hardware tampering attacks and protection;
- Physical security attacks and countermeasures;
- Metrics, policies, and standards related to hardware security;
- Hardware-based software system security;
- Security of Internet of Things.
