This National Science Foundation award provides $498,003 to Arizona State University under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program to develop security countermeasures for field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-as-a-service systems. The university will conduct research on authentication methods, information flow tracking, formal methods, and machine learning to detect malicious FPGA bitstreams. Evaluation will utilize Xilinx Kintex-7 and Zynq-7000 FPGAs to develop benchmarks for countermeasure effectiveness assessment. Additionally, the university will design a web-based platform to assist researchers in evaluating countermeasures, collaborate with partners at Intel and IBM, integrate findings into cybersecurity curricula, and engage high school students. All data and software will be made available on the university's website and DukeSpace repository for five years following project completion on September 30, 2023.
