Ryan Kastner, Reconfigurable Hardware Security (August 11, 2005) Tube. Duration : 59.73 Mins.


From the CISR video library (www.cisr.us) Dr. Ryan Kastner, UC Santa Barbara Reconfigurable Hardware Security August 11, 2005 at the Naval Postgraduate School (http ABSTRACT Reconfigurable hardware has quickly become ubiquitous in embedded computing systems. Reconfigurable devices control our transportation (cars, planes), enable communication (wireless transceivers, network routers), and are even found on other planets (Mars Rover). The power of reconfigurable hardware lies in its unique blend of flexibility and performance. It combines the post-fabrication programmability of software running on a general purpose processor with the spatial computational style employed in hardware designs. Unfortunately, if unprotected, reconfigurable hardware can be exploited to disrupt critical operations, snoop on supposedly secure channels, or even to physically melt the device. Somewhat surprisingly, there is little research on the security aspects of these unique devices. This talk focuses on security for reconfigurable hardware. Dr. Kastner will start by giving a brief history of reconfigurable hardware, from its roots at UCLA in the 1960s, to its commercial emergence for hardware prototyping in the mid 80s, though its current widespread use in computing systems. Moving through the years, Dr. Kastner highlight architectural features of a variety of reconfigurable devices, with a focus on FPGA architectures. Then, he will discuss the current state-of-the-art methods in securing ...
