Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hardware trust has become a major concern over the last few decades due to the exposure of confidential information to an increasing number of actors in the design/supply chain and continuous progress in reverse engineering and other forms of hardware attacks. An explosion in design complexity, dependency on an increasingly complex global supply chain, and adversaries with ever-growing abilities jeopardize intellectual property and provide a means for a plethora of threats, including overproduction and hardware Trojans insertion. In this context, defense mechanisms, coupled with increasingly drastic test methods, have become essential to guarantee circuit trustworthiness, especially as adversaries find new attacks/methods to thwart each attempt at protection. This quest for sovereignty is of the utmost importance to maintain the control and reliability of hardware.
This Special Issue focuses on leading-edge research on mitigation techniques, ranging from architecture to physical design, in response to the threats jeopardizing the confidence that we have in our circuits. Research on corresponding threats/attacks is also of interest.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
