The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has been awarded a $265,122 Project Grant by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) federal grant program (CFDA 47.070). The five-year grant, starting on July 1, 2024, will support UCLA's research project titled "CAREER: Integrating Microarchitecture Simulation and Side-Channel Leakage Modeling for Safer Software." The project aims to develop new methods and open-source tools for accurately modeling and quantifying side-channel leakage in a wide range of computing systems, from embedded devices to servers. The goal is to enable the construction of more secure software systems by providing hardware designers, computer architects, compiler designers, and software developers with techniques to analyze and mitigate side-channel vulnerabilities. As part of this effort, the project also includes an educational component to integrate this research into K-12, undergraduate, graduate, and broader security community curricula. The award reflects NSF's mission to advance fundamental knowledge and applications in computer science and engineering with potential for broad societal impact.
