This book constitutes the carefully refereed post-proceedings of the 6th Symposium on Foundations and Practice of Security, FPS 2013, held in La Rochelle, France, in October 2013.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Security, Privacy, and Applied Cryptography Engineering, SPACE 2017, held in Goa, India, in December 2017.The 13 revised full papers presented together with 1 short paper, 7 invited talks, and 4 tutorials were carefully reviewed and selected from 49 initial submissions. This annual event is devoted to various aspects of security, privacy, applied cryptography, and cryptographic engineering. This is indeed a very challenging field, requiring the expertise from diverse domains, ranging from mathematics to solid-state circuit design.

In Security Trends for FPGA's the authors present an analysis of current threats against embedded systems and especially FPGAs. They discuss about requirements according to the FIPS standard in order to build a secure system. This point is of paramount importance as it guarantees the level of security of a system. Also highlighted are current vulnerabilities of FPGAs at all the levels of the security pyramid. It is essential from a design point of view to be aware of all the levels in order to provide a comprehensive solution. The strength of a system is defined by its weakest point; there is no reason to enhance other protection means, if the weakest point remains untreated. Many severe attacks have considered this weakness in order not to face brute force attack complexity. Several solutions are proposed in Security Trends for FPGA's especially at the logical, architecture and system levels in order to provide a global solution.
