MRI: Acquisition of Side-Channel Measurement and Analysis System

该项目将获得一个Riscure Inspector系统，为侧信道测量和分析提供先进的仪器，旨在为该国在海湾地区提供独特的能力，从事侧信道漏洞的网络安全研究、对策开发和分析，以及关键基础设施设备的安全性和可靠性的故障注入测试。侧通道是由于物理实现特性、电子设备可能有助于信息保障（IA）和网络安全研究以及在这些领域有记录的机构的教育而产生的副作用而产生的意外信息路径。意外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信道安全研究中的功能，这对于保护加密应用程序、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处于关键网络安全研究问题的前沿。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的国家领导者。传统上，这所大学满足了不同学生群体的需求，其中很大一部分来自农村或经济萧条地区。女生占比超过60%，非全日制学生占比超过1/3。学生将有机会直接利用侧信道系统进行研究和课堂活动。所获得的技能预计将直接导致实习和长期就业。该仪器还为SoC和CoE的博士生提供了机会，并为CoC的队列活动提供了机会。美国目前的服务奖学金项目。它还通过中心到取证信息技术和安全中心（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).
