About PHISIC

In the field of hardware security, following the introduction of Meltdown and Spectre attacks, 2022 saw a further development of numerous micro-architectural attacks. Also new emerging side channels were reported and are making it possible to conduct physical attacks remotely (e.g. screaming channels, FPGA-hammer). Within the idea of making cryptography as light as possible (LWC) and as long-term as possible (post-quantum cryptography), the need to efficiently implement emerging cryptography on hardware in a secure way is more and more vivid. This is for example illustrated by two ongoing competitive standardisation processes (NIST post-quantum and lightweight-cryptography).

In this context, the PHISIC workshop aims at providing an environment for exchange among academic and industrial experts of the embedded security arena. More precisely, PHISIC’2022 expects to:

contribute and share ideas on the latest trends in terms of academic research, collaborative projects and industrial challenges
identify future security trends
exchange on advanced practices in physical attacks (fault injection and side channel analysis) and efficient protection schemes
discuss the security features of systems (IoT networks, Cyber-Physical Systems…)

Call for Talks and Posters

PHISIC’2022 is a workshop without proceeding. Presentations and posters will be publicly available after the workshop unless noted otherwise by the authors.

Talks will be 30 minutes long including 5-10 minutes for Q&A. Talks shall be in English. Observe that presenting does not prevent future or concurrent submission to any journal or conference with proceedings.

Topics

Side Channel & Fault injection attacks
SW and HW protections against physical threats
Emerging technologies for secure devices
Machine Learning & security
Security assessment and verification: leakage assessment, formal verification, etc.
Security challenges for IoT and mobile devices
Cryptographic algorithms and related implementations: lightweight crypto, post-quantum, ECC, etc.
Remote physical attacks
Other topics of interest related to hardware security
Please note that a special session on collaborative project in hardware security will be led by pole SCS
