Planning IUCRC Indiana University: Center for High-Assurance Secure Systems and IoT (CHASSI)

IUCRC规划项目将建立一个多站点高保证安全系统和物联网（CHASSI）中心的可行性，该中心将重点关注安全和高保证对于支持高任务关键性操作是必要的领域，由于安全或经济影响。例子包括医疗设备、制造业、能源网、实时金融市场、建筑和国防。将安全和高保障结合起来是一个难题，通过有意地将它们和中心成员的集体专业知识结合起来，将产生新的模型、技术、设计、架构和系统，这些将适用于美国重要行业的范围。CHASSI有五个站点：印第安纳大学、堪萨斯大学、明尼苏达大学、锡拉丘兹大学和凯斯西储大学。CHASSI研究分为四个主要方向：(1)系统级安全性、隐私性、稳定性和性能的体系结构、设计和形式化建模；(2)保证通信、传感和设备的安全；(3)可扩展信任；(4)人类在隐私和安全方面的行为。IU的优势包括家庭环境中的物联网（IoT），安全中的机器学习，应用系统安全以及跨学科研究。其他站点的补充专业知识包括网络物理系统和系统安全、正式建模、医疗设备保障、工业物联网和人为因素。更广泛的影响包括：1)产业与研究者之间的互动；2)学生辅导；3)包容性外展；4)纳入很少研究的人群。工业界将获得最前沿的研究成果，而研究人员将改善创新成果的传播和采用。大学和企业之间的合作也加强了教育，为学生提供了真实的数据和经验。印第安纳大学的研究人员有一个传统，就是在研究中与代表性不足的人群合作：老年人、弱势群体和不同的社区。外展将包括退休人员等代表性不足的人群，辅导将包括代表性不足的群体，并将为k-12教育工作者创建教育活动。来自这个多大学-工业中心的合作者将在：https://chassi.ku.edu上托管一个单一的中心范围的存储库。该共享库将包括会议资料、项目信息、出版物等，并将在合同结束后至少5年内提供，或直到中心过渡到下一阶段。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The IUCRC planning project will establish the feasibility of a multi-site Center for High-Assurance Secure Systems and Internet-of-Things (CHASSI) that will focus on areas where both security and high assurance are necessary to support operations of high mission criticality, due to safety or economic impact. Examples include medical devices, manufacturing, the energy grid, real-time financial markets, construction, and defense. Combining security and high-assurance is a difficult question, and by intentionally combining them and the collective expertise of Center members will lead to new models, techniques, designs, architectures, and systems that will be applicable across of range of important U.S. industries. CHASSI has five sites: Indiana University, University of Kansas, University of Minnesota, Syracuse University, and Case Western Reserve University. CHASSI research falls into four main thrusts: (1) Architectures, design and formal modeling for systems-level security, privacy, stability, and performance; (2) Secure communication, sensing, and devices; (3) Scalable trust; and (4) Human behavior in privacy and security. IU strengths include the internet of things in home environments (IoT), machine learning in security, applied system security, and interdisciplinary studies. Complementary expertise at the other sites includes cyber-physical systems and systems security, formal modeling, assurance of medical devices, industrial IoT, and human factors. The broader impacts are 1) the interaction between industry and researchers; 2) mentoring of students; 3) inclusive outreach; and 4) inclusion of rarely studied populations. Industry will obtain access to cutting edge research, while researchers will improve diffusion and adoption of innovations. The collaboration between the university and industry also enhance education, offering students real-world data and experiences. Researchers at IU have a tradition of working with under-represented populations in research: older adults, vulnerable populations, and diverse communities. Outreach will include under-represented populations such as retirees, mentoring will include under-represented groups, and educational activities will be created for k-12 educators.The collaborators from this multi-university-industry Center will host a single Center-wide repository at: https://chassi.ku.edu. This shared repository will include meeting materials, program information, publications, etc., and will be made available for a minimum of 5 years after conclusion of the award or until the Center transitions to the next phase.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
