• Anti-tamper
• Anti-counterfeit
• Hardware Obfuscation

Architecture

• Trusted execution environments
• Cache-side channel attacks and mitigation
• Privacy-preserving computation
• System-on-chip (SoC)/platform security
• FPGA and reconfigurable fabric security
• Cloud computing
• Smart phones and smart devices

System

• Internet-of-things (IoT) security
• Sensors and sensor network security
• Smart grid security
• Automotive/autonomous vehicle security
• Cyber-physical system security
• (Adversarial) Machine learning and cyber deception
• Security and trust for future pandemics
