This seminar aims to bring together a group of researchers, who are actively involved in the design and the security assessment of hardware primitives. 
The seminar was organized around presentations given by several participants on their current research, and ongoing work. 
In addition to these presentations, the program also included three discussion sessions, and two special sessions on curriculum development and funding programs. 
The seminar was indeed successful in familiarizing the researchers with recent developments in hardware security field of study, providing better understanding of still unsolved problems, and pointing out future research directions. 

The paper is further organized as follows. Section 1 summarizes the most important goals of the seminar. 
Section  is devoted to the abstracts of the presentations given in the seminar, whereas in Section 4 the abstracts of the discussion sessions are provided.
