MRI: Acquisition of Side-Channel Measurement and Analysis System

该项目获得了Riscure Inspector系统，为侧通道测量和分析提供先进的仪器，旨在为该国提供海湾地区的独特能力，以从事侧通道漏洞的网络安全研究，对策制定和分析，和故障注入测试，用于关键基础设施设备的安全性和可靠性。侧通道是作为侧通道出现的非预期信息路径。由于物理实施属性、电气设备可能有助于信息保证（IA）和网络安全研究和教育，因此这些领域的机构具有跟踪记录。非预期的侧通道会给计算系统和关键基础设施带来重大的网络安全风险。该仪器能够显著扩展其在侧通道安全研究方面的能力，这些研究对于保护密码应用、医疗设备和智能卡中使用的嵌入式设备至关重要。该仪器使教师和学生能够处于关键网络安全研究问题的最前沿。美国计算机学院（SoC）是校园内一个快速发展的学术单位，其核心重点是网络安全研究，合作开展以安全为重点的跨学科计划。因此，该系统有望使该机构成为网络安全研究和教育支持方面的国家领导者。该大学传统上满足了来自农村或经济萧条地区的高比例的多样化学生群体的需求。女学生比例超过60%，非在校学生比例超过1/3。学生将获得直接利用侧通道系统进行研究和课堂活动的实践机会。获得的技能预计将直接导致实习和永久就业。该仪器还提供了机会，博士生在SoC和CoE，并提供了机会，队列活动的CoC？目前的奖学金服务计划。它还通过中心到中心取证信息技术和安全（CFITS）支持现有的K-12外展。

This project, acquiring a Riscure Inspector system to provide advance instrumentation for side-channel measurement and analysis, aims to provide the country with a unique capability within the Gulf Region to engage in cybersecurity research of side channel vulnerabilities, countermeasure development and analysis, and fault injection testing for security and reliability of critical infrastructure devices.Side channels are unintended information paths that occur as a side effect due to physical implementation properties, electrical devices that could contribute to information assurance (IA) and cyber security research and education to an institution with a track record in these areas. Unintended side channels introduce significant cyber security risks to computing systems and critical infrastructure. This instrumentation enables a significant expansion in its capabilities in side-channel security research critical to securing embedded devices used in cryptographic applications, medical devices, and smart cards.The instrumentation enables faculty and students to be at the cutting edge of critical cyber security research issues. USA's School of Computing (SoC) is a fast growing academic unit on campus with a core focus in cyber security research collaborating on security-focused cross disciplinary initiatives. Hence, this system is expected to position the institution towards becoming a national leader in cyber security research and education support. The university traditionally meets the needs of a diverse student body with a high percentage coming from rural or financially depressed areas. It has higher than 60% of female students, and more than 1/3 non-while student population. The students will be afforded hands-on opportunities in research and classroom activities directly utilizing the side-channel system. The skills gained are expected to lead directly to internships and permanent employment. The instrumentation also provides opportunities for doctoral students in both SoC and CoE and offers opportunities for cohort activities for CoC?s current Scholarships for Service program. It additionally supports existing K-12 outreach through Center to Center for Forensics Information Technology and Security (CFITS).
