This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Computer and Network Systems, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), provides $612,648 to Worcester Polytechnic Institute to develop new methods for securing embedded software. The awardee will shift security enforcement from developers to compilers using static analysis, runtime instrumentation, and hardware support. Enhancements will enable customization and promote longevity. Open-source artifacts will include secured compiler enhancements, benchmark applications, and tutorials presented at conferences to establish a scientific foundation for compiler-assisted embedded system security. This is important as such low-cost systems in cyber-physical and emerging technologies like the Internet of Things often have real-world physical consequences from exploitation. The award period is from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2026.
