EIA-0082635Williams, RonaldUniversity of VirginiaITR: Security Education in Embedded ComputingEducation and research will be tightly coupled as this effort focuses uponsecurity in networked embedded computer systems. The vulnerability ofnetworked computers to malicious or mischievous attack has become apparentwith several recent incidents. With the present trend to connect moreembedded systems to global networks, security is a growing concern. Theinvestigators on this project seek to identify aspects of well-studiedembedded computing characteristics that can be extended and applied toissues of security. The primary objectives of this work are to develop a theoretical foundationfor embedded system security and to expand the base of security educationfor computer engineers. The theoretical foundation will build upon thebody of knowledge developed over past decades in availability, reliability,and safety research. Educational modules will be made available and can beused in the future to form the basis for a more extensive educationalprogram in this area. The potential impact of this effort will include asignificant increase in the sensitivity to embedded system security issuesamong those computer engineers who participate in the project or areexposed to the educational modules. Further, new applications of existingtechniques will improve the evaluation and design of embedded systems toinclude security considerations. Both of these impacts are significant toincrease the integrity of networked embedded computer systems.

EIA-0082635 Williams，罗纳尔维吉尼亚大学ITR：嵌入式计算中的安全教育教育和研究将紧密结合在一起，因为这项工作的重点是联网嵌入式计算机系统的安全。最近发生的几起事件表明，联网计算机对恶意或恶作剧攻击的脆弱性已经变得明显。随着当前将更多的嵌入式系统连接到全球网络的趋势，安全问题日益引起人们的关注。该项目的研究人员试图确定经过充分研究的嵌入式计算特性的各个方面，这些特性可以扩展并应用于安全问题。这项工作的主要目的是为嵌入式系统安全奠定理论基础，扩大计算机工程师的安全教育基础。理论基础将建立在过去几十年在可用性、可靠性和安全性研究方面发展起来的知识体系之上。将提供教育模块，并可在未来使用，以形成这一领域更广泛的教育计划的基础。这一努力的潜在影响将包括参与该项目或接触教育模块的计算机工程师对嵌入式系统安全问题的敏感度显著提高。此外，现有技术的新应用将改进嵌入式系统的评估和设计，以纳入安全考虑。这两种影响对于提高网络化嵌入式计算机系统的完整性都具有重要意义。
