FICS Research Team Wins Awards at 2016 HOST Symposium

Members of the FICS Research team brought home two Best Paper Awards and one Best Paper Nomination from this year’s HOST Symposium!

The IEEE International Symposium on Hardware Oriented Security and Trust (HOST) is an annual symposium which aims to facilitate the rapid growth of hardware-based security research and development. Each year it draws attendance from hundreds of specialists from academe, government agencies, and various industries to share new findings and highlight research 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. This year it was held at The Ritz-Carlton in McLean, Virginia from May 3 – 5, 2016, and featured four keynote speakers, three visionary talks, three invited industry talks, twenty-six technical paper and eighteen poster presentations, as well as a best paper and, for the first time ever, a hardware demo competition.
