IUCRC Phase I University of California-Davis: Center for Hardware and Embedded System Security and Trust (CHEST)

硬件和嵌入式系统安全与信任中心（CHEST）协调基于大学的研究与行业和政府合作伙伴的需求，以提高电子硬件和嵌入式系统的安全，保证和信任知识。CHEST的兴趣包括识别、检测、监控、缓解和消除影响硬件和嵌入式系统的漏洞。CHEST中心针对设计、运营、制造、供应链以及硬件、软件和固件与各种系统的集成中的一系列攻击媒介。该中心致力于为利益相关者发明和传播技术、实践和指导方针，并培养下一代专家。NSF CHEST中心致力于解决多个层面的安全、保证和信任问题：大型系统、嵌入式系统、设计和运营、要求、标准、制造、供应链以及集成电路和电路板。在这些大学中，加州戴维斯大学（UC Davis）将领导CHEST在系统、架构和电路层面的硬件和嵌入式系统安全和信任方面的努力。主题包括：（i）用于安全性、数字逻辑逆向工程、硬件木马检测和预防的专用集成电路（ASIC）设计流程，（ii）检测和预防恶意和旁道攻击，防止物联网恶意软件流行，安全处理器架构以防止旁道攻击，以及（iii）系统/应用程序级别的安全性，包括安全深度学习和人工智能，集成的网络物理系统的安全性、保证和信任使得能够满足人类的基本需求，沿着支持国家更广泛的社会、环境和经济进步。系统吸收破坏性冲击并以最小损失恢复的能力是保护人的生命和财产的关键。NSF CHEST中心影响着工业、政府和军方在设计、保护和恢复与硬件和嵌入式系统相关的漏洞方面的实践。提高保证和信任有助于降低不良事件的频率和严重程度，同时注意系统任务、性能、进度和成本。NSF CHEST中心网站www.nsfchest.org是所有可公开访问的数据、代码、结果等的存储库。这些页面将至少在CHEST中心处于活动状态时进行维护。此外，由加州大学戴维斯分校领导的所有CHEST项目都以数字格式永久存档在加州大学戴维斯分校的文件服务器上，并在设备故障时提供足够的备份和恢复。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

The Center for Hardware and Embedded Systems Security and Trust (CHEST) coordinates university-based research with needs of industry and government partners to advance knowledge of security, assurance, and trust for electronic hardware and embedded systems. Interests of CHEST include identification, detection, monitoring, mitigation, and elimination of vulnerabilities that affect hardware and embedded systems. The CHEST Center addresses a range of attack vectors across design, operation, manufacturing, supply chains, and integration of the hardware, software, and firmware to a variety of systems. The Center is inventing and disseminating technologies, practices, and guidelines to stakeholders and educating a next generation of experts.The NSF CHEST Center addresses security, assurance, and trust across several levels: Large-scale systems, embedded systems, design and operations, requirements, standards, manufacturing, supply chains, and integrated circuits and boards. Among the universities, the University of California Davis (UC Davis) will lead CHEST efforts for hardware and embedded system security and trust at the system, architecture and circuit levels. Topics include : (i) Application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design flow for security, digital logic reverse engineering, hardware trojan detection and prevention, (ii) Detecting and preventing malicious and side-channel attacks, preventing IoT malware epidemics, secure processor architecture to prevent side-channel attacks and (iii) Security at the system/application levels including secure deep learning and artificial intelligence, cryptography and secure web browser for embedded system and hardware based rootkit.Security, assurance, and trust of integrated cyber-physical systems enable meeting fundamental human needs, along with supporting broader social, environmental, and economic progress of the nation. The ability of systems to absorb disruptive shocks and recover with minimal loss is key to protecting human lives and property. The NSF CHEST Center influences the practices of industry, government, and the military in design, protection, and resilience to vulnerabilities associated with hardware and embedded systems. Improving assurance and trust contributes to the reducing the frequencies and severities of adverse events with attention to system missions, performance, schedule, and cost.The NSF CHEST Center website, www.nsfchest.org, is the repository for all publicly accessible data, code, results, etc. These pages will be maintained for at least as long as the CHEST Center is active. In addition, all CHEST projects that are led by UC Davis are permanently archived in digital format on the UC Davis file servers with sufficient provisions for backup and recovery in case of equipment failure. All archival UC Davis computers and servers are backed up on a regular basis.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.
