Collaborative Research: CI-EN: Trust-Hub: Development of Benchmarks, Metrics, and Validation Platforms for Hardware Security, and a Web-based Dissemination Portal

不断增长的硬件安全社区面临着开发有效工具和基准的迫切需要。这个项目的目的是领导一场全社区的运动，在我们的集成电路、计算平台和电子供应链中实现更强有力的保证。基于在包括密码和计算机辅助设计在内的许多社区中证明的信息共享的有效性，PI计划显著增强和扩大Trust-Hub的范围，Trust-Hub是一个基于网络的中央储存库，用于基准、硬件认证平台、评估软件、源代码、工具和更多硬件安全和信任领域。该项目的智力优点包括开发(I)利用难以检测的特洛伊木马实例动态生成信任基准的程序，(Ii)用于安全验证的硬件平台，(Iii)一套安全度量，(Iv)一套随时可以应用的攻击，以及(Viii)全面的硬件/软件验证测试套件和数据。这个项目的结果将会引起半导体公司、美国政府机构和世界各地的大学研究人员的兴趣。对社会的好处包括用于医疗、国防、金融、交通、汽车和其他应用的安全和值得信赖的电子产品。这项研究将通过课程、在线材料和校内外研讨会影响学生、行业专业人员和政府机构工程师的教育。

The growing hardware security community is faced with an immediate need to develop effective tools and benchmarks. The purpose of this project is to lead a community-wide movement toward stronger assurances in our integrated circuits, computational platforms, and electronics supply chain. Based on the proven effectiveness of information sharing in many communities including crypto and computer-aided design, the PIs plan a significant enhancement and increase in scope of Trust-Hub, a central web-based repository for benchmarks, hardware authentication platforms, evaluation software, source codes, tools, and much more in the area of hardware security and trust.The intellectual merits of this project include development of (i) procedures to dynamically generate trust benchmarks with hard-to-detect Trojan instances, (ii) hardware platforms for security validation, (iii) a suite of security metrics, (iv) a suite of ready to apply attacks, and (viii) comprehensive hardware/software validation test suites and data. The results of this project would be of interest to semiconductor companies, US government agencies and university researchers worldwide. Benefits to the society include secure and trustworthy electronics for healthcare, defense, finance, transportation, automotive and other applications. This research will impact the education of students, industry professionals, and government agencies' engineers through courses, online materials, and on- and off-campus seminars.
