2024 6th International Conference on Hardware Security and Trust (ICHST 2024) will be held in Nanjing, China during July 12-14, 2024, as the workshop of ICSIP 2024. It is sponsored by Southeast University, China, hosted by School of Cyber Science and Engineering and Southeast University Wuxi Campus .

Rapid proliferation of computing and communication systems with increasing computational power and connectivity into every sphere of modern life has brought security to the forefront of system design, test, and validation processes. The emergence of new application spaces for these systems in the internet-of-things (IoT) regime is creating new attack surfaces as well as new requirements for secure and trusted system operation. Additionally, the design, manufacturing and the distribution of microchip, PCB, as well as other electronic components are becoming more sophisticated and globally distributed with a number of potential security vulnerabilities. Therefore, hardware plays an increasingly important and integral role in system security with many emerging system and application vulnerabilities and defense mechanisms relating to hardware.

ICHST is an annual symposium which aims to facilitate the rapid growth of hardware-based security research and development. It highlights new results in the area of hardware and system security. Relevant research topics include techniques, tools, design/test methods, architectures, circuits, and applications of secure hardware.

All full paper submissions will be peer reviewed and evaluated based on originality, technical and/or research content/depth, correctness, relevance to conference, contributions, and readability. As the workshop of ICSIP 2024, accepted and presented papers of ICHST 2024 will be published in ICSIP 2024 conference proceedings as special chapter, and then submitted for Ei Compendex and Scopus index.
