Call for paper
The intrinsic security of computer architectures and the implementations ofprocessors has long been unintentionally or even deliberately overlooked andtraded for optimizations seeking for high performance and low cost. Traditionalwisdom about computer security is to patch the vulnerable software eco-systems but still let them run on existing flawed computers in the hope to fend offattacker with reduced exploitable errors, extra security checks and constrained running environment. However, without fixing the underlying errors and in the absence of security-oriented features in processor designs, defending the current software systems by the software along is doomed to be a losing battle.The recent Meltdown and Spectre attacks demonstrate that some of the fundamental optimizations, such as speculative execution, have the potential to be or already become security vulnerabilities which are extremely difficult, if ever possible, to fix without changing the underlying hardware designs. It becomes necessary for future designs of computer architectures and processors to consider security early in the design process and provide crucial supports for security related software; therefore, improve the system security in a systematic manner.
This workshop is focus on the topic of architecture support security, and discusses all the related research on defending computer systems with built-in security mechanisms in architecture, chip and system design.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Secure architecture and micro-architecture.
- Hardware techniques in defending all kinds of side- and covert- channels.
- Hardware vulnerability explorations
- Defense techniques against Meltdown and Spectre
- Security in IoT hardware infrastructure
- Security hardware in Big data and Cloud
