AIHWS

Artificial intelligence is progressing ever faster with new applications and results that would not be possible only a few years ago. At the same time, hardware security is becoming increasingly important for embedded systems applications as hardware devices implementing both, cryptographic functions and AI algorithms are at the core of security systems.
In recent years, the connection between AI and hardware security is becoming more prominent and important. This comes as a natural consequence of the need to offer improved security in a more automated way. Yet, despite all the accomplishments and progress in this new field dealing with the interplay of AI and HW security, this process is not without its challenges. Examples of such challenges are the lack of explainability of results and not clear design choices in the selection of AI techniques.
With this workshop, we aim to connect researchers coming from both AI and security, academia and industry, to increase the understanding of AI in hardware security, but also to explore new applications where such techniques could bring improved security. We hope this workshop will become a standard event for researchers interested in AI and HW security to share their ideas and also improve the state-of-the-art in this challenging field.
