[hpc-announce] Call for Papers: IEEE CSR Workshop om Hardware Cybersecurity Systems

[Langendörfer, Peter]

IEEE CSR Workshop om Hardware Cybersecurity Systems

Resilience of the Internet of Things, industrial control systems, critical infrastructures and health care
etc. is of utmost importance. The basis to achieve this are trustworthy embedded devices. In order to
ensure trustworthiness of these devices their whole life cycle needs to be taken into account. This
means their design, production, deployment and use. Here considering hardware and embedded
software such as operating systems and firmware. Computing hardware has become an attractive
attack surface, either due to unintentional design flaws or malicious design modifications. Hardware
designers and automation tool developers alike are challenged to understand the different hardware
security threats in order to incorporate effective countermeasures into robust hardware design,
verification, and testing. This holds true not only for security-related hardware components but also
for general-purpose processors. The most common targets in such adversary attacks are secure
architectures, cryptographic primitives, and intellectual property (IP) by counterfeiting. Well-known
hardware security threats are e.g. Hardware Trojans (HT), Reverse Engineering (RE), covert and side
channels. In addition continuously advancing, novel attacks targeting remote, cross-layer liabilities also
become prevalent. In order to ensure trustworthiness of embedded systems also the embedded GPUs
need to support secure processing by e.g. providing means to ensure control flow integrity. In addition,
operating systems and firmware need to be hardened to reduce vulnerabilities related to known attack
types such as buffer overflows and return-oriented-programming, return-to-libc etc. But also AI based
attack detection means, implemented in hard- or software, are required to detect novel, innovative
attacks during the normal operation of the devices.
The workshop will be held in conjunction with the IEEE CSR 2025 conference as a physical event,
during August 4–6, 2025. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished
contributions from a broad range of topics, which include but are not limited to the following:
› Architectures and applications: 5G/6G, healthcare, IoT, etc.
› Networks, protocols and communications: hardware integrations
› Attacks: implementations and countermeasures
› Constrained and trusted environments
› Cryptanalysis/Side channel attacks for hardware
› Cryptographic primitives and lightweight cryptography
› Hardware obfuscation
› Hardware crypto-processors, system-on chip (SoC) and reconfigurable designs
› Trust and anti-counterfeiting
› Reverse engineering, Hardware Trojans detection and countermeasures
› Attack detection: Control flow integrity, AI based attack detection etc.
› Software life cycle integrity
› Secure, trustworthy operating systems and firmware

Important dates
Paper submission deadline: April 14, 2025
Authors’ notification: May 5, 2025
Camera-ready submission: May 26, 2025
Registration deadline (authors): May 26, 2025
Workshop dates: August 4–6, 2025

The IEEE CSR HACS workshop will accept high-quality research papers presenting strong theoretical
contributions, applied research and innovation results obtained from funded cyber-security and
resilience projects, and industrial papers that promote contributions on technology development
and contemporary implementations.

Submitted manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages (plus 2 extra pages, being subject to overlength
page charges) and should be of sufficient detail to be evaluated by expert reviewers in the field.
Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s
scope and quality requirements. Detailed information about paper submission and guidelines for
authors can be found at the workshop’s website https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.ieee-csr.org/hacs__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!dsnOdToBWSrofkdzExq-hWv9s2YxH9ALwB-Ayc6AYKkIoR9fHjuX59r9o0MYIifwuzSshp8JkkAQK4BTd58MHbtDkUjNpdcvgnuxxsrolA$ .
