Hacking secure embedded hardware: models, tools and countermeasures

随着万物互联时代的发展，人们越来越需要强大的安全解决方案来抵御对广泛存在的嵌入式硬件的攻击。与软件不同，对硬件的攻击不容易或不容易打补丁，可能会产生更重大的影响。受到威胁的嵌入式硬件包括自动取款机、智能卡、汽车、手机、移动医疗和金融设备。本研究将为芯片级硬件入侵和对抗设计提供一个试验台，从而推动安全嵌入式硬件领域的发展。在推动我们对硬件攻击的理解方面，我们更有能力设计对策来加强我们的硬件，以便能够挫败未来的攻击。这项研究将有助于培训嵌入式安全领域的工程师，嵌入式安全是加拿大经济日益增长和重要的组成部分。这一研究领域对加拿大保护我们的经济和国家至关重要，适用于许多市场，包括无线金融/军事/汽车/健康行业，在这些行业中，安全可信的硬件至关重要。

As the era of Internet of anything evolves, there is a growing need for strong security solutions which can thwart attacks on the widespread embedded hardware. Unlike software, attacks on hardware are not easily or readily patched and may have a more significant impact. Examples of threatened embedded hardware include ATMs, smartcards, automobiles, cell phones, mobile health and financial devices. This research will advance the field of secure embedded hardware by creating a testbed for chip level hardware hacking and countermeasure design. In advancing our understanding of hardware attacks, we are in a better position to design countermeasures to strengthen our hardware so future attacks can be thwarted. This research will help to train engineers in the field of embedded security, a growing and important part of Canada's economy. This field of study is vital to Canada to protect our economy and country with application to many markets including wireless financial/military/automobile/health industries where secure trusted hardware is crucial.
