The objective of this project is to create a virtual laboratory for hardware security lab exercises. The lab exercises are based on a hands-on 'hardware hacking' course where students can work on specialized hardware to try out various hardware-based attacks. These lab activities include modules on side channel power analysis attacks, electromagnetic keyboard logging, counterfeit integrated circuit detection, and hardware Trojan attacks. Since the hardware lab components that enable these lab modules can be very expensive, it may be difficult to incorporate these labs in smaller universities and colleges. The virtual laboratory allows students from other institutions to remotely use the hardware in the University of Connecticut lab through a secure online website. The project has a significant impact on cybersecurity education by enabling the offering of hardware security curricula at a broader range of institutions through the use of virtual laboratories. The virtual labs allow multiple institutions to share hardware resources available at the University of Connecticut and use them in their own hardware security classes. Hardware security is a field of growing importance but there are no programs available to train students in this area. The virtual laboratory encourages programs at more institutions and thus increases the pool of professionals trained in hardware security. The results of this research are being disseminated in journals and conferences. The virtual lab framework and modules as well as results of evaluations, project assessment, and student learning outcomes are provided on the www.trust-hub.org website.

该项目的目标是创建一个虚拟实验室，用于硬件安全实验室练习。实验练习是基于一个动手'硬件黑客'课程，学生可以在专门的硬件上工作，尝试各种基于硬件的攻击。这些实验活动包括侧通道功率分析攻击、电磁键盘记录、假冒集成电路检测和硬件特洛伊木马攻击等模块。由于支持这些实验室模块的硬件实验室组件可能非常昂贵，因此可能很难将这些实验室纳入较小的大学和学院。虚拟实验室允许其他机构的学生通过安全的在线网站远程使用康涅狄格大学实验室的硬件。该项目对网络安全教育产生了重大影响，使更多机构能够利用虚拟实验室提供硬件安全课程。虚拟实验室允许多个机构共享康涅狄格大学提供的硬件资源，并将其用于自己的硬件安全课程。硬件安全是一个日益重要的领域，但没有可用于培训学生在这方面的计划。虚拟实验室鼓励更多机构开展项目，从而增加硬件安全培训专业人员的数量。这项研究的结果正在刊物和会议上传播。虚拟实验室框架和模块以及评估结果，项目评估和学生学习成果都在www.trust-hub.org网站上提供。
