The emergence of a globalized, horizontal semiconductor business model raises a set of concerns involving the security and trust of the information systems on which modern society is increasingly reliant for mission-critical functionality. Hardware-oriented security and trust (HOST) issues span a broad range including threats related to the malicious insertion of Trojan circuits designed e.g., to act as a `kill switch' to disable a chip, to integrated circuit piracy, to attacks designed to extract encryption keys and IP from a chip, to hardware-related malicious disruptions and/or diversions of systems.  HOST covers security and trust issues in all types of electronic devices and systems such as ASICs, COTS, FPGAs, microprocessors/DSPs, and embedded systems. The mission of HOST is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of research that is of critical significance to the security of, and trust in, modern society's microelectronic-supported infrastructures.
