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

该计划拨款将用于研究建立一个多大学-工业高保证安全系统和物联网中心（CHASSI）的可行性，该中心将重点关注那些由于安全和经济影响而需要安全和高保证来支持高任务关键性操作的领域。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。然而，将安全和高保障结合起来是很困难的，有意地将它们结合起来将导致新的模型、技术、设计、体系结构和系统，这些将适用于一系列重要的美国工业。CHASSI有五个站点：堪萨斯大学、明尼苏达大学、锡拉丘兹大学、凯斯西储大学（CWRU）和印第安纳大学。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)可扩展的信任和隐私；(4)为了隐私和安全的人类行为。CWRU带来了工业控制、物联网（IoT）、工业物联网（IIoT）以及制造和能源应用方面的专业知识。其他站点的补充专业知识包括任务保证和系统安全、医疗设备、网络、网络物理系统、移动安全和人为因素的保证。CHASSI的教职员工将了解工业公司的具体利益和实际需求/障碍。同样，企业也将受益于：所有站点的前沿大学研究；与行业内外的其他行业同事建立联系并学习最佳实践；可能成为潜在雇员的学生；以及可能执行中心项目或专有研究的教员。在规划期间，CWRU将通过招募未来的学生、教育在校学生和确定学生研究人员，探索与科学与工程妇女圆桌会议（WISER）和技术妇女倡议一起推进多样性和外联的方法。来自这个多大学-工业中心的合作者将在：http://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。

This planning grant award will be used to study the feasibility of establishing a multi-university-industry 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 hard, however, intentionally combining them will lead to new models, techniques, designs, architectures, and systems that will be applicable across a range of important U.S. industries. CHASSI has five sites: University of Kansas, University of Minnesota, Syracuse University, Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), and Indiana 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 privacy; and (4) Human behavior for privacy and security. CWRU brings expertise in industrial controls, Internet-of-Things (IoT), Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT), and manufacturing and energy applications. Complementary expertise at the other sites includes mission assurance and systems security, assurance of medical devices, networking, cyber-physical systems, mobile security, and human factors.CHASSI faculty members will gain an understanding of the specific interests and actual needs/barriers of industrial companies. Likewise, companies will benefit from exposure to: cutting-edge university research across all sites; networking with and learning best practices from other industry colleagues in and out of their sector; students who may be potential hires; and faculty that might perform center projects or proprietary research. During the planning period, CWRU will explore ways to advance diversity and outreach with the Women in Science and Engineering Roundtable (WISER) and Women in Technology initiatives through recruiting prospective students, educating current students, and identifying student researchers.The collaborators from this multi-university-industry Center will host a single Center-wide repository at: http://chassi.ku.edu. This shared repository will include meeting materials, program information, publications, etc., and will be made available for a minimum of five years after the 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.
