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 proposed Center will 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 modern computer architecture platform deploy in Internet of Things and Cloud environments, as well as application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) security. It will adopt advanced machine-learning solutions, to understand the behavior of hardware attacks at various level of abstraction, to design effective defense mechanisms at the heart of the architecture and hardware.The Center will influence the design, protection, and resilience of cyber physical systems from vulnerabilities associated with device security. It will also help with 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 are expected to bring a significant return on investment, in terms of improving the readiness of industry for emergent conditions and improving resilience to threats.The collaborative group for the Industry-University Cooperative Research Center 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、交通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可信实体的恶意篡改，威胁来自广泛的攻击媒介。恶意功能可能会在设计过程、制造或组装过程中添加到设备中，从而导致系统受损，通常不会被检测到。这一合作努力寻求通过开发新的方法和技术来增强这些设备及其各自系统的信任和安全。拟议的中心将使来自集成电路、体系结构、密码学、系统安全和弹性等不同领域的研究人员和从业人员能够将设备安全定位为一门连贯、协作的学科。它将成为专注于行业的研究中心和相关数据的储存库。它将促进对话，以促进跨学科边界的进步。该网站将领导在物联网和云环境中部署的现代计算机架构平台的安全以及专用集成电路(ASIC)和现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)安全方面的合作努力。它将采用先进的机器学习解决方案，了解不同抽象级别的硬件攻击行为，在体系结构和硬件的核心设计有效的防御机制。该中心将影响网络物理系统的设计、保护和弹性，使其免受与设备安全相关的漏洞的影响。它还将帮助工业、政府和军队所需的劳动力发展。该中心将通过在六个地点教授的专业/学术活动和课程来传播关于设备安全的研究成果和综合理论。在改善行业对紧急情况的准备和提高对威胁的应变能力方面，这一结果预计将带来显著的投资回报。工业大学硬件和嵌入式系统安全与信任合作研究中心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、弗吉尼亚大学和莱特州立大学组成。协作者在https://www.vdl.afrl.af.mil/programs/PG_CHEST_IUCRC上建立了一个网站，提供会议材料、计划信息、出版物等。该网站将无限期提供，或在中心过渡到下一阶段之前提供。
