Phase I IUCRC University of Virginia: 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、运营、要求、标准、制造、供应链以及集成电路和电路板。在CHEST大学中，弗吉尼亚大学（UVA）在确定测试平台以提高集成系统的安全性和信任方面处于领先地位。UVA为系统性风险，弹性，可靠性，物流，数据分析和系统工程开发方法。研究课题包括（i）大型系统的资源分配和优先级;（ii）跟踪供应链的紧急和未来条件;（iii）将设备的信任和安全性聚合到系统弹性的量化。集成网络物理系统的安全性，保证和信任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。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提供了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，弗吉尼亚大学领导的所有CHEST中心项目都以数字格式永久存档在弗吉尼亚大学的文件服务器上，并有足够的备份和恢复准备，以防设备故障。所有档案UVA计算机和服务器定期备份。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已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, operations, requirements, standards, manufacturing, supply chains, and integrated circuits and boards. Among the CHEST universities, the University of Virginia (UVA) leads in identifying testbeds for improving security and trust at the level of integrated systems. UVA develops methodology for systemic risk, resilience, reliability, logistics, data analytics, and systems engineering. Research topics include (i) resource allocation and priorities of large-scale systems; (ii) tracking emergent and future conditions of supply chains; and (iii) aggregating trust and security of devices to quantification of system resilience.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, provides 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 Center projects that are led by UVA are permanently archived in digital format on the UVA file servers with sufficient provisions for backup and recovery in case of equipment failure. All archival UVA 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.
