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

不断发展的硬件安全社区面临着开发有效工具和基准的迫切需求。这个项目的目的是在我们的集成电路、计算平台和电子供应链中引领一个社区范围内的运动，以获得更强的保证。基于在包括加密和计算机辅助设计在内的许多社区中已证明的信息共享有效性，pi计划显著增强和扩大trust - hub的范围，这是一个基于web的中央存储库，用于基准测试、硬件身份验证平台、评估软件、源代码、工具，以及硬件安全和信任领域的更多内容。该项目的智力优势包括开发(i)动态生成具有难以检测的木马实例的信任基准的程序，（ii）用于安全验证的硬件平台，（iii）一套安全度量，（iv）一套准备应用的攻击，以及（viii）全面的硬件/软件验证测试套件和数据。该项目的结果将引起全球半导体公司、美国政府机构和大学研究人员的兴趣。对社会的好处包括用于医疗保健、国防、金融、交通、汽车和其他应用的安全可靠的电子产品。这项研究将通过课程、在线材料以及校内和校外研讨会影响学生、行业专业人士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.
