NSF Workshop on Security in RF/Analog Microelectronics and Electromagnetics, October, 22-23, 2019 in Alexandria, VA.

本次研讨会的目标是聚集一批来自政府、工业界和学术界的顶尖专家，他们拥有微电子、半导体材料、无线系统、物联网(IoT)、射频天线和电磁波传播、模拟/混合信号处理等方面的专业知识，讨论微电子和电磁学中的射频/模拟技术如何提高未来通信和传感的安全性。研讨会将集中讨论两个主要目标：(1)射频/模拟微电子学和电磁学的安全漏洞；(2)射频/模拟微电子学和电磁学的安全通信和传感。讲习班的成果将是一份关于未来通信和传感系统在基于射频/模拟的安全方面的需求和挑战的报告。研讨会的成果预计将鼓励来自不同研究界的研究人员共同努力，探索射频/模拟硬件领域的新安全技术机会，这可能会导致重要研究的新途径。为期两天的研讨会将包括主题演讲、小组讨论、分组会议和总结会议。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The goal of this workshop is to have a group of leading experts from government, industry, and academia with expertise covering microelectronics, semiconductor materials, wireless systems, internet-of-things (IoT), RF antennas and electromagnetic wave propagation, analog/mixed-signal processing, etc. to discuss how the RF/analog technologies in microelectronics and electromagnetics can advance the security of future communications and sensing. The workshop will focus on two main objectives: (1) Security vulnerability in RF/analog microelectronics and electromagnetics; (2) Secured Communications and Sensing by RF/analog microelectronics and electromagnetics. The outcome of the workshop will be a report on the needs and challenges in RF/analog-based security for future communication and sensing systems. The outcome of the workshop is expected to encourage researchers from different research communities to work together and explore opportunities for new security techniques in RF/analog hardware domain, which may lead to new avenues of important research. The two-day workshop will feature keynote talks, panel discussions, breakout sessions, and a wrap-up conclusion session.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.
