Hardware Security and Trust - Winter semester 2020/21

overview


description Spezialvorlesung in den Bachelor- und Masterstudiengängen Informatik und ESE.

The lecture will take place online only. The subject matter will be provided in form of lecture recordings. The exercise sessions discussing the two-weekly exercise sheets will take place via BigBlueButton: https://tfmeet1.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/b/lin-eeh-yjo-eas

The course material and a forum for discussions and announcements is accessible via Ilias: https://ilias.uni-freiburg.de/goto.php?target=crs_1799574&client_id=unifreiburg

The password for BigBlueButton and Ilias will be sent to you via e-mail at the end of October, if you are registered for the lecture in HisInOne. Otherwise, please send a request to: feiten@informatik.uni-freiburg.de
comment The convergence of IT systems, data networks (including but not limited to the Internet) and ubiquitous embedded devices within the cyber-physical system paradigm has led to the emergence of new security threats associated with the system hardware. Manipulating the hardware components that implement security functions can compromise system integrity, provide unauthorized access to protected data, and endanger intellectual property. Addressing these vulnerabilities is essential in order to prevent the hardware from becoming the weak spot of today’s systems. At least a basic knowledge of hardware security and trust issues is of importance to all system designers. 

Starting with (necessary) basics on cryptography, authentication, secret sharing, VLSI design, test and verification the course will provide an introduction to hardware security and trust covering the following topics: physical and invasive
attacks, side-channel attacks, physically unclonable functions, hardware-based true random number generators, watermarking of Intellectual Property (IP) blocks, FPGA security, passive and active metering for prevention of piracy, access control, hardware Trojan detection and isolation in IP cores and integrated circuits (ICs).
