Integrated circuit and embedded hardware devices are critical to most modern military and industrial systems for defense, energy, healthcare, banking, communication, transportation, and other sectors. These devices are more vulnerable than ever to malicious tampering by untrusted entities, with threats over a broad range of attack vectors. Malicious functionality can be added to the devices during the design process, fabrication, or assembly, leading to compromised systems, often without detection. This collaborative effort seeks to further the national defense by developing novel methodologies and technologies that enhance trust and security of these devices and their respective systems.The to-be-planned Center is intended to enable researchers and practitioners from diverse areas -- integrated circuits, architecture, cryptography, system safety and resilience, etc. -- to position device security as a coherent, collaborative discipline. It will be a hub for industry-focused research and a repository for related data. It will foster dialog to promote advances across disciplinary boundaries. The site will lead collaborative efforts in security of cyber-physical and large-scale systems, secure architecture and virtualization, and embedded system security and privacy. It will adopt advanced machine-learning algorithms, and investigate analysis and mitigation of side channels and covert channels in mobile systems, Graphical Processing Units, and nano-devices.The Center is expected to influence the design, protection, and resilience of cyber physical systems from vulnerabilities associated with device security and workforce development needed for industry, government, and military. The Center will disseminate research results and synthesized theories on device security through both professional/scholarly activities and courses taught at the six sites. The results should bring a significant return on investment, as they improve the readiness of industry for emergent conditions and improve resilience to frequencies, natures, and severities of threats.The collaborative group for the Industry & University Collaborative Research for Hardware and Embedded System Security and Trust is composed of George Mason University, Northeastern University, University of Connecticut, University of Texas at Dallas, University of Virginia, and Wright State University. The collaborators host a website at https://www.vdl.afrl.af.mil/programs/PG_CHEST_IUCRC with meeting materials, program information, publications, etc. The website is made available indefinitely or until the Center transitions to the next phase.

集成电路和嵌入式硬件设备对于国防、能源、医疗保健、银行、通信、运输和其他部门的大多数现代军事和工业系统至关重要。 这些设备比以往任何时候都更容易受到不受信任实体的恶意篡改，威胁范围广泛。 恶意功能可以在设计过程、制造或组装过程中添加到设备中，导致系统受损，通常无法检测到。 这项合作努力旨在通过开发新型方法和技术来增强这些设备及其相应系统的信任和安全性，以进一步促进国防。即将规划的中心旨在使来自集成电路、架构、密码学、系统安全和弹性等不同领域的研究人员和从业者能够将设备安全定位为一个连贯、协作的学科。 它将成为以行业为重点的研究中心和相关数据的储存库。 它将促进对话，以促进跨学科的进步。该网站将领导网络物理和大规模系统安全、安全架构和虚拟化以及嵌入式系统安全和隐私方面的合作努力。该中心将采用先进的机器学习算法，研究分析和缓解移动的系统、图形处理单元和纳米设备中的侧信道和隐蔽信道。该中心预计将影响网络物理系统的设计、保护和恢复能力，使其免受与工业、政府和军队所需的设备安全和劳动力发展相关的漏洞的影响。 该中心将通过专业/学术活动和在六个地点教授的课程传播关于设备安全的研究成果和综合理论。 研究结果将带来可观的投资回报，因为它们提高了行业对紧急情况的准备程度，并提高了对威胁频率、性质和严重程度的恢复能力。工业&大学硬件和嵌入式系统安全与信任合作研究的合作小组由乔治梅森大学、东北大学、康涅狄格大学、德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校、弗吉尼亚大学和赖特州立大学。 合作者在https://www.vdl.afrl.af.mil/programs/PG_CHEST_IUCRC上建立了一个网站，提供会议材料、项目信息、出版物等。该网站无限期开放，或直到中心过渡到下一阶段。
