About the Journal
Aims and Scope. Journal of Secure Hardware and Trusted Computing provides a focused venue for research on trusted execution, side-channel resistance, secure boot, hardware roots of trust, physical attacks. The journal prioritizes technically substantive, internationally relevant work in which the principal novelty lies inside the stated computing scope rather than only in the application domain.
Core topics in scope include:
- trusted execution
- side-channel resistance
- secure boot
- hardware roots of trust
- physical attacks
- processor security
- hardware security
- trusted computing
- secure processors
- hardware assurance
Evidence and methodological expectations. Systems papers should use transparent workloads, credible baselines, controlled experiments or validated simulation, and report performance, energy, reliability, cost, or resource trade-offs as relevant. Prototype details must be sufficient for replication or independent verification.
Normally outside scope. Unvalidated architecture diagrams, vendor-product descriptions, isolated benchmark screenshots, and system prototypes without comparative evaluation, workload characterization, or measurable architectural contribution are normally outside scope.
Research integrity and reproducibility. Authors should disclose datasets, software, model or system configurations, experimental protocols, statistical procedures, ethical approvals where applicable, competing interests, funding, and any material use of generative AI. Data and code should be shared when legally and ethically possible, or the restriction must be explained.
