• Sommario/riassunto: Many people assume that eugenics all but disappeared with the fall of Nazism, but as this sweeping history demonstrates, the idea of better breeding had a wide and surprising reach in the United States throughout the twentieth century. With an original emphasis on the American West, Eugenic Nation brings to light many little-known facts-for example, that one-third of the involuntary sterilizations in this country occurred in California between 1909 and 1979-as it explores the influence of eugenics on phenomena as varied as race-based intelligence tests, school segregation, tropical

• Sommario/riassunto: It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the Sixth Workshop on Attacks and Solutions in Hardware Security 2022 (ASHES 2022), a post-conference satellite workshop of the ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security 2022 (CCS 2022). Due to the ongoing pandemic and to provide greater flexibility for attendees in areas where travel was still inconvenient, ASHES was held in hybrid mode this year. ASHES deals with all theoretical and practical aspects of hardware security and welcomes any contributions to this area. Besides being a mainstream platform for disseminating fundamental research on hardware security, the workshop encourages and promotes emerging and new ideas. It includes topics like physical attacks on electronic circuits, secure hardware designs to counter such attacks, lightweight secure designs, post-quantum cryptographic circuits, or emerging topics at the intersection of nanotechnology and hardware security, such as physically unclonable functions (PUFs). The workshop also focusses on recent applications like the internet of things, automotive security, smart homes, or pervasive and wearable computing. ASHES thereby aims at giving researchers and practitioners a unique opportunity to mutually share their perspectives with each other.
