项目摘要

This project investigates the risks instigated by malicious hardware modifications (hardware Trojans) in the nodes of a wireless network and aims to develop remedies, thereby enabling secure deployment and fostering technology trustworthiness. Due to the lack of assurance mechanisms in the globalized integrated circuit (IC) supply chain, hardware Trojans have recently become the topic of intensified concern. At the same time, wireless networks constitute an indispensable part of modern electronic systems and their ability to communicate data that is typically encrypted over public channels makes them a prime attack target. Accordingly, this project provides a synergistic approach that combines information theory with IC design and test practices.This project focuses on (1) modeling the risk induced by hardware Trojans in wireless networks, (2) elucidating this risk by designing realistic hardware Trojan-based attacks on both the baseband processor and the RF front-end, (3) developing countermeasures for preventing insertion and facilitating detection of hardware Trojans in wireless networks, and (4) demonstrating attack feasibility and countermeasure effectiveness using popular experimentation platforms enhanced with custom-designed Trojan-free and Trojan-infested Radio Frequency ICs. The investigators participate in outreach activities organized by Cybersecurity Research and Education Institute at the University of Texas at Dallas.

该项目调查无线网络节点中恶意硬件修改（硬件木马）引发的风险，旨在制定补救措施，从而实现安全部署并促进技术可信度。由于全球化的集成电路供应链缺乏保障机制，硬件木马成为近年来备受关注的话题。与此同时，无线网络构成了现代电子系统不可或缺的一部分，并且它们在公共信道上传送通常被加密的数据的能力使它们成为主要攻击目标。因此，本项目提供了一种将信息理论与IC设计和测试实践相结合的协同方法。本项目侧重于（1）对无线网络中硬件木马引起的风险进行建模，（2）通过设计对基带处理器和RF前端的基于硬件木马的攻击来阐明这种风险，（3）制定防止在无线网络中插入硬件木马并便于检测的对策，以及（4）使用流行的实验平台演示攻击的可行性和对策的有效性，免费和木马侵扰的射频IC。调查人员参加了德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校网络安全研究和教育研究所组织的外展活动。
