"Hardware Security Verification"

Cynthia Sturton, associate professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has received two grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in support of projects to strengthen hardware security verification. The first project, titled "Hardware Security Insights: Analyzing Hardware Designs to Understand and Assess Security Weaknesses and Vulnerabilities," will develop more effective methods for understanding how information flows in computer hardware designs, with the goal of enhancing the security of that information. The project will equip hardware engineers with a set of automated tools for verifying the performance and security of models earlier in the design process. The second project, titled "A Hierarchical Machine Learning Approach for Securing of NoC-Based MPSoCs Against Thermal Attacks," will address security issues associated with hardware trojan-infected thermal sensors embedded in Multi-Processor System-on-Chips (MPSoCs). This article continues to discuss the NSF-funded hardware security verification projects.
