This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program provides funding of $189,509.00 to the University of Washington to study and mitigate "FPGA pentimenti" - data leakage between subsequent users of time-shared cloud-based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). The project will characterize how data from previous users can be leaked through analog side channels due to bias temperature instability effects, establish bounds on data recovery capabilities, and develop effective defenses for manufacturers, cloud providers, and end-users. This research aims to enhance the security of cloud FPGA infrastructure and promote education and research in FPGA security. The award period runs from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2028.
