IEEE International Symposium on Hardware Oriented Security and Trust (HOST) – the premier event aiming to facilitate the rapid growth of hardware security research and development – has opened the call for contributions. The 18^th annual HOST will be held May 5-8, 2025, in San Jose, California, the capital of Silicon Valley. HOST 2025 invites original contributions in all areas of overlap between hardware and security, including but not limited to:

HOST 2025 has two submission windows. Please submit your paper at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=host2025. The page limit is 10 pages (excluding references), in double column, IEEE format, with a minimum font size of 10 points. Paper templates are available at https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Only work that has not been previously published at the time of the submission will be considered. Duplicate submissions to concurrent conferences/journals are not permissible and, if encountered, will be rejected and reported to IEEE. The paper selection will involve a double-blind review – the identity of authors must not be revealed, directly or indirectly, throughout the entire process, with all references to the author(s)’ own previous work being in the third person. Please avoid the use of “omitted for blind review” in the bibliography and make sure that the PDF metadata does not contain author information.

 HOST 2025 also accepts proposals for tutorials and demos.  More information will be disseminated in future calls.
