Developing a Methodology for Deeply Embedded Security in Real-Time Systems
- funded by: ARO through SOSI
- funding level: ~ $140,000 for Mueller in Y1+Y2
- duration: 08/01/2008 - 07/31/2010
- PI: Frank Mueller, external collaborator: Sibin Mohan (UIUC)
Embedded real-time systems generally lack software security support,
yet these systems are increasingly deployed in a networked manner.
In such systems, compromised systems may malfunction with potentially
catastrophic effects. We propose to develop a methodology to
integrate timing-based security into real-time systems at multiple
levels, study the cost and benefits of each technique and hybrids, and
transfer this knowledge to selected embedded application areas.
