SaTC: CORE: Small: Trustworthy System-On-Chip Design using Secure On-Chip Communication Architecture

片上系统 (SoC) 是各种电子系统中计算和通信的驱动力，从智能家居中的简单设备到卫星中的复杂系统。片上网络 (NoC) 是复杂 SoC 中组件之间片上通信的常用解决方案。为了满足成本和上市时间的限制，SoC 是使用各种硬件组件进行设计的，这些组件通常来自不受信任的第三方供应商。尽管可信通信在整个系统安全中的重要性日益增加，但 NoC 安全性的研究相对不足。该项目将开发一种安全的 NoC 架构，以实现基于 NoC 的 SoC 中组件之间的可信通信。该项目有两个重要目标。第一个目标是开发适用于各种通信技术（包括电气、光学和无线 NoC）的自动化工具和技术，同时满足能源和性能要求以及实时限制。 第二个目标是开发一种安全、轻量级的片上通信架构，实现安全数据通信、匿名路由以维护通信隐私、在存在恶意组件的情况下寻找可信路径、实时检测和定位拒绝服务和缓冲区溢出攻击以及验证和评估NoC安全架构。该项目的更广泛影响有三个方面：桥接计算和通信安全、研究和教育一体化以及本科生和少数族裔学生的参与。与现有安全解决方案相结合时，安全 NoC 架构将支持使用不可信组件进行可信 SoC 设计。与不同公司的持续合作将使安全解决方案能够在工业 SoC 上得到应用。该项目将通过开发带有 NoC 安全模块的修改课程以及通过出版物、研讨会、教程和小组传播研究成果来整合研究和教育活动。该项目将涉及女性和代表性不足的少数族裔学生。该项目预计将产生各种各样的数据，这对工程界未来的研究和教育将非常有帮助。该项目中生成的知识、工具、方法和数据将通过项目网页 (https://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/cad/NoC.html) 公开提供。该网页将包括与 NoC 安全架构相关的所有相关材料以及相关工具和技术，以在各种片上通信架构中实现增量加密和身份验证、信任感知路由、匿名路由以及实时攻击检测和本地化。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。

System-on-Chip (SoC) is the driving force behind computing and communication in a wide variety of electronic systems, ranging from simple devices in smart homes to complex systems in satellites. Network-on-Chip (NoC) is a commonly used solution for on-chip communication between components in complex SoCs. To meet cost and time-to-market constraints, SoCs are designed using various hardware components, often gathered from untrusted third-party vendors. Despite increasing importance of trusted communication in overall system security, NoC security is relatively under-investigated. This project will develop a secure NoC architecture to enable trusted communication between components in NoC-based SoCs.This project has two important objectives. The first objective is to develop automated tools and techniques that work across diverse communication technologies including electrical, optical and wireless NoCs while meeting energy and performance requirements as well as real-time constraints. The second objective is to develop a secure and lightweight on-chip communication architecture that enables secure data communication, anonymous routing to maintain communication privacy, finding trusted paths in the presence of malicious components, real-time detection and localization of denial-of-service and buffer overflow attacks, and validation and evaluation of NoC security architectures.The broader impacts of this project are three-fold: bridging computation and communication security, integration of research and education, and involvement of undergraduates and minority students. Secure NoC architecture will enable trusted SoC design with untrusted components when combined with existing security solutions. Ongoing collaboration with different companies will enable the application of the security solutions on industrial SoCs. This project will integrate research and educational activities by developing modified courses with an NoC security module, as well as dissemination of research results through publications, seminars, tutorials and panels. This project will involve female and under-represented minority students. This project is expected to produce a wide variety of data that would be immensely helpful for future research and education in the engineering community. Knowledge, tools, methodologies and data generated in this project will be made publicly available through the project web page (https://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/cad/NoC.html). The web page will include all the relevant materials related to NoC security architecture as well as associated tools and techniques to enable incremental encryption and authentication, trust-aware routing, anonymous routing, and real-time attack detection and localization, in a wide variety of on-chip communication architectures.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.
