Dynamically reconfigurable hardware combines hardware performance with software-like flexibility and finds increasing use in networked systems. The capability to load hardware modules at runtime provides these systems with an unparalleled degree of adaptivity but at the same time poses new challenges for security and safety. In this paper, we elaborate on the presentation of proof carrying hard...

Nowadays there are different kinds of attacks on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). As FPGAs are used in many different applications, its security becomes an important concern, especially in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Hardware Trojan Horse (HTH) insertion is one of the major security threats that can be implemented in unused space of the FPGA. This unused space is unavoidable to ...

In this work, we propose a service infrastructure that provides confidentiality of data in the cloud. It enables information sharing with fine-grained access control among multiple tenants based on attributebased encryption. Compared to the standard approach based on access control lists, our encryption as a service approach allows us to use cheap standard cloud storage in the public cloud and ...

h SECURITY OF ELECTRONIC hardware at different stages of its life cycle has emerged as a paramount concern to integrated circuits (ICs) designers, system integrators, as well as to the end users. Over time, hardware components, platforms and supply chains have been considered secure and trustworthy. However, recent discoveries and reports on security vulnerabilities with attacks in microchips a...

Web applications that require higher levels of security have various security options that can be deployed on the server. However providing security on the client consuming the service remains a challenge especially when the application runs in a web browser. While various types of security hardware can work with the user's computer, there is no convenient way for web applications to access suc...

Recently, there are many trust management solutions are proposed for wireless sensor networks. Current decentralized trust-management research focuses mainly on trust models and algorithms, whereas trust evaluation isn’t related with certainty specific application. But, in WSNs the trust management solutions should adapt to different application scenarios. In addition, potential merits of hardw...

Security research and training using cyber-physical systems (e.g., automotive networks) is challenging because of the need to replicate the interactions between the hardware components and the control software of the systems. These interactions are challenging to replicate due to dynamic inputs in real-world environments that cause various interactions of hardware components and control softwar...
