The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under its Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) to Colorado State University. The grant supports a collaborative research project exploring security risks from data imprinting in SRAM (static random access memory) used in computing systems. The key objectives are to conduct an in-depth analysis of security threats posed by SRAM data imprinting effects, and to develop cost-effective data sanitization techniques to securely dispose of electronic systems and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information. The project aims to benefit consumers, industry, and government by ensuring deleted data is not recoverable throughout a product's lifecycle. Additionally, the grant supports the training of two graduate students in hardware-oriented security and radiation effects on microelectronics.
