	 Integrated Circuit Security and Trustworthiness

	     Dr. Hassan Salmani, Howard University,

Integrated circuits are at the core of any modern computing
system such as military systems and smart electric power grids,
and their security and trustworthiness ground the security of
entire system. Notwithstanding the central impact of ICs security
and trustworthiness, the horizontal IC supply chain has become
prevalent due to confluence of increasingly complex supply chains
and cost pressures.

In this presentation, Professor Salmani will present an overview
on some of his contribution into hardware security and trust
including vulnerability of digital circuits to malicious
modification called hardware Trojans at different levels, design
methodologies and techniques to facilitate hardware Trojan
detection, and design methodologies to prevent design
counterfeiting. In a detailed discussion, Professor Salmani will
focus on the vulnerability of ICs to hardware Trojan insertion at
the layout level.

Professor Hassan Salmani received the Ph.D. degree from the
University of Connecticut, in 2011. He is currently an Assistant
Professor with Howard University. While his current research
sponsored by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and Howard
University, he has published tens of journal articles and
refereed conference papers and has given several invited
talks. He has published one book and one book chapter. His
current research projects include hardware security and trust and
supply chain security. He is a member of the SAE International's
G-19A Tampered Subgroup, ACM, and ACM SIGDA. He serves as a
Program Committee and Session Chair of the Design Automation
Conference, Hardware-Oriented Security and Trust, the
International Conference on Computer Design, and VLSI Design and
Test.
