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 (ICs) and boards. Among the universities, The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) will lead the research efforts for addressing hardware security and trust aspects of analog and Radio Frequency (RF) ICs and systems, as well as at the microprocessor architecture level. This will include research topics embodying (i) covert channel attack detection and mitigation in standards-compliant wireless networks, (ii) design obfuscation techniques to protect analog/RF ICs against counterfeiting and Intellectual Property (IP) piracy, (iii) transistor-level reconfigurable hardware solutions for design obfuscation, and (iv) statistical and machine learning-based methods for hardware Trojan detection, provenance attestation, and hardware-based workload execution forensics.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 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 projects led by UTD will be permanently archived in digital format on the UTD file servers with sufficient provisions for backup and recovery in case of equipment failure. All archival UTD 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.

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（IC）和电路板。在这些大学中，德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校（UTD）将领导解决模拟和射频（RF）IC和系统以及微处理器架构级别的硬件安全和信任方面的研究工作。这将包括研究主题，具体体现（i）符合标准的无线网络中的隐蔽通道攻击检测和缓解，（ii）设计混淆技术，以保护模拟/RF IC免受伪造和知识产权（IP）盗版，（iii）用于设计混淆的晶体管级可重新配置硬件解决方案，以及（iv）基于统计和机器学习的方法，用于硬件木马检测，来源证明，集成的网络物理系统的安全性、保证性和可信度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类生命和财产的关键。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。通过关注系统任务、性能、进度和成本，提高保证和信任有助于降低不良事件的频率和严重程度。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，UTD领导的所有项目都将在UTD文件服务器上以数字格式永久存档，并有足够的备份和恢复准备，以防设备故障。所有存档的UTD计算机和服务器都定期备份。该奖项反映了NSF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。
