RISE: Embedded Systems Security via Reverse Engineering and Countermeasures

历史上的黑人高校科学与工程研究基础设施（HBCU-RISE）活动隶属于科学与技术卓越研究中心（CREST）项目，支持提供科学和工程学科博士学位的hbcu的研究能力发展。HBCU-RISE项目与接收部门的长期计划和机构使命，以及扩大机构研究能力和增加理工科博士生生产的计划直接相关。在美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation）的支持下，摩根州立大学（Morgan State University）将实施旨在改变教学方式的综合战略，努力扩大未被充分代表的群体在电气工程领域的参与。该项目旨在解决网络安全漏洞，将影响大量少数民族学生，并为教师提供合作和职业发展机会。该项目有可能为受过技术培训的少数族裔电气工程师库做出重大贡献，这些工程师对国家的网络基础设施至关重要。拟建研究项目的目标是增强网络物理系统的安全性，同时增强摩根州立大学电气与计算机工程系的研究能力：1)提供物联网（IoT）设备物理层的安全性和防范攻击的对策，确保物联网设备之间的安全数据交换；2)发展电气和计算机工程学院的研究专长，提高物联网设备安全方面的竞争力；3)丰富学生的教育和研究经验；4)增加拥有电气工程博士学位的少数族裔学生的数量。该项目将为工科学生提供应对国家网络基础设施挑战的关键创新技术，发展该机构的研究和教育能力和生产力，并为机构转型做出贡献。该项目符合该机构提高其作为博士研究型大学地位的战略目标。

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Research Infrastructure for Science and Engineering (HBCU-RISE) activity within the Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program supports the development of research capability at HBCUs that offer doctoral degrees in science and engineering disciplines. HBCU-RISE projects have a direct connection to the long-term plans of the host department(s) and the institutional mission, and plans for expanding institutional research capacity as well as increasing the production of doctoral students in science and engineering. With support from the National Science Foundation, Morgan State University will implement comprehensive strategies designed to transform teaching and learning in an effort to broaden the participation of underrepresented groups in electrical engineering. The project, designed to address vulnerabilities in cyber security, will impact a large population of minority students and provide opportunities for collaboration and career development for faculty. This project has the potential to contribute significantly to the pool of minority electrical engineers trained in technology that is vital to the nation's cyber infrastructure.The goal of the proposed research project is to enhance the security of cyber-physical systems while enhancing the research capability of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Morgan State University by: 1) providing Internet of Things (IoT) device security at the physical layer and countermeasures to prevent attacks and ensure secure data exchange between IoT devices; 2) developing Electrical and Computer Engineering faculty research expertise and increase competitiveness regarding security of IoT devices; 3) enriching the educational and research experience of students; and 4) increasing the production of underrepresented minority students with doctoral degrees in electrical engineering. This project will equip engineering students with innovative techniques vital for tackling challenges in national cyberinfrastructure, develop the institution's research and educational capacity and productivity, and contribute to the institutional transformation. The project is aligned with the institution's strategic goal of enhancing its status as a Doctoral Research University.
