This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program provides $247,059 to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to study and mitigate "FPGA pentimenti" - the leakage of data between subsequent users of time-shared cloud-based field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) through analog side channels. The project will characterize how data can be recovered from previous FPGA users via bias...
This $189,509 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports research to study and mitigate "FPGA pentimenti" - analog side-channel data leakage between cloud-based FPGA users. The project aims to characterize the bounds of data recovery capabilities, develop effective defenses, and produce techniques to extract and remediate these side-channel attacks. This research addresses...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $299,995 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to develop novel security approaches for protecting field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) used in cloud computing environments. The key objectives of this 3-year project are to introduce secure operating mechanisms and a security and queue management unit (SQMU) to enable controlled sharing of FPGAs...
