The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $222,427 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to Purdue University. The grant, titled "CAREER: SECURING DEEPLY EMBEDDED SOFTWARE," will develop techniques to secure existing and enable new deeply embedded software (DES) systems that control critical infrastructure such as homes, transportation, food, and energy systems. The project aims to create a comprehensive set of modular security solutions to address the unique challenges of DES systems, including diverse hardware/software environments, resource limitations, and legacy code. Key deliverables include a method for hosting DES on Linux, dynamic analysis tools for DES applications, memory safety improvements using pointer annotations, and integration of the Rust programming language for DES development. The award, spanning August 2024 to July 2029, will also provide training for graduate students and create new pedagogical materials and K-12 outreach to broaden participation in embedded systems and programming. No subawards are planned under this project.
