NSF Workshop on Hardware Attack Artifacts, Analysis, and Metrics (WHAAAM)
DescriptionThe Workshop on Hardware Attack Artifacts, Analysis, and Metrics (WHAAAM) aims to promote open and practical contributions that improve our ability to reason about offensive hardware security. Over the past decade, we've observed the repeated discovery of real-world hardware vulnerabilities. No longer a theoretical exercise, hardware attacks are developed by multinational corporations and nation states with devastating consequences. Responses from both academia, industry, and government agencies has grown as a result. However, we still fall-short in our ability to defend against creative malicious actors. This is in part due to an existing gap between academic threat modelling and PoCs versus end-to-end attacks. WHAAM seeks to bridge this gap in the hardware security research community, by seeking open and artifact-driven submissions that that grows our understanding of practical attacker capabilities, as well as robust responses based on empirical root-cause analysis and quantitative metrics. Importantly, as opposed to competition-based hardware security events (Hack@DAC, IEEE HOST) that have limited focus, WHAAAM encourages a diverse and creative outlet for student researchers to demonstrate a range of cutting-edge work in a hands-on environment.
