SILM2022: SILM Workshop on Software/Hardware Security Genoa, Italy, June 6, 2022 |

Submission deadline | March 25, 2022 |
The purpose of the SILM workshop is to share experiences, 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. These architectures should rely on hardware-based security mechanisms to protect the software stack. One of the challenges is to formally specify and verify the security guarantees offered by such architectures.
The goal of this third 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.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Regular papers describing fully developed work and complete results (10 pages, references included, IEEE format)
- Short papers, position papers, industry experience reports, work-in-progress submissions and ideas (6 pages, references included, IEEE format; work-in-progress and idea submissions should clearly outline research hypothesis, evaluation strategy and potential impact)
