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，以阻止对广泛的嵌入式硬件的攻击。与软件不同，对硬件的攻击不容易修补，可能会产生更大的影响。受威胁的嵌入式硬件包括ATM、智能卡、汽车、手机、移动的健康和金融设备。这项研究将通过为芯片级硬件黑客攻击和对策设计创建一个测试平台来推进安全嵌入式硬件领域。通过提高我们对硬件攻击的理解，我们可以更好地设计对策来加强我们的硬件，从而挫败未来的攻击。这项研究将有助于培养嵌入式安全领域的工程师，这是加拿大经济不断增长的重要组成部分。该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，其中安全可靠的硬件至关重要。

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.
