SUSHI@NIST’25/26: Rolling Next-Generation Secure Hardware into Standards
Hardware security is vital to national defense, economic resilience, emerging technologies and geopolitical uncertainty and semiconductor disruptions. Modern systems face escalating hardware-level threats that bypass conventional protections, critical infrastructure, privacy, and performance.

SUSHI’24:
Co-located with ICCAD Conference
The desire for digital sovereignty, exacerbated by global semiconductor shortages and geopolitical interests, has led to numerous worldwide initiatives to strengthen semiconductor technology and manufacturing on national and regional scales. Hardware security is foundational to the integrity of computing systems.

SUSHI’23:
Sustainable Hardware Security
In recent years, we have observed the discovery of a growing number of hardware design and implementation vulnerabilities that could be exploited by unprivileged software, leading to potential exposure of sensitive data or compromise of whole computing systems. This new attack paradigm casts a long shadow on decades of research on system security and disrupts the traditional threat models that have mainly focused on software-only vulnerabilities and often assume that the underlying hardware is behaving correctly and is trustworthy.

SUSHI’22:
Sustainable Hardware Security
The main goal of this workshop is to bring together international researchers, experts from academia, industry, and government to exchange knowledge and explore new ideas and research directions for tackling the challenges related to, but not limited to, security-by-design for hardware.
