Welcome to the 2nd edition of our Worskshop on the Security of Software / Hardware Interfaces. SILM 2020 will be co-located with the 5th IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy (EuroS&P 2020) and will take place in Genova (Italy), June 18, 2020. This Workshop is organized as part of the SILM thematic semester funded by the French DGA and managed by Inria for the different partners. It is becoming increasingly important to combine software and hardware aspects in order to take into account new software attacks. For example, hardware vulnerabilities such as Spectre or Meltdown can be exploited by purely The purpose of the SILM workshop is to share experience, tools and methodologies to handle security in software/hardware interfaces. On one hand, we need to better assess the security guarantees provided by existing hardware architectures against software attacks, especially attacks against micro-architecture. This can be achieved by identifying new vulnerabilities using reverse engineering, fuzzing or other attack approaches. On the other hand, we also need to propose new architectures offering better resilience against software attacks. Theses architectures should rely on hardware-based security mechanisms to protect the software stack. One of the challenge is to formally specify and verify the security guarantees offered by such architectures. The goal of this second edition of the SILM workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government that work on the security of software/hardware interfaces. |
Call for Papers |
We accept two categories of submissions:
All papers should be in English and describe original work that has not been published or submitted elsewhere. The submission category should be clearly indicated. All submissions will be fully reviewed by members of the Program Committee. Papers will appear in IEEE Xplore in a companion volume to the regular EuroS&P proceedings. Papers must be typeset in LaTeX in A4 format (not “US Letter”) using the IEEE conference proceeding template we supply eurosp-2020-template.zip. We suggest you first compile the supplied LaTeX source as is, checking that you obtain the same PDF as the one supplied, and then write your paper into the LaTeX template, replacing the boilerplate text. Please do not use other IEEE templates. Failure to adhere to the page limit and formatting requirements can be grounds for rejection. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following.
For accepted papers, at least one author must attend the workshop. |
