    Investigating and Leveraging EM and Backscattering Side Channels for Hardware Security

    This dissertation is focused on investigating and leveraging side-channel leakage for hardware security. To help designers address and take advantage of electromagnetic (EM) side channels, two methods for locating the physical sources of EM side channels have been developed. Both methods are used to investigate how the EM side-channel sources change with frequency and program activity. The second half of this dissertation introduces two methods that use side channels for component authentication. The same properties that make side channels such a threat, also make them useful for authenticating electronic components. The first method uses EM side channels for identifying integrated circuits (ICs) installed on a device. Focusing on components already integrated onto a device lets designers authenticate devices assembled by third parties. The second method uses the recently defined backscattering side channel for detecting recycled ICs. Unlike other types of side channels, backscattering is directly affected by the IC aging. Since the backscattering side channel is nondestructive and requires no additional circuitry on the IC, it is low cost. The effect of aging on the side channel is then investigated through simulation and experimentation.Ph.D

    New Perspectives on Electric Vehicles

    Modern transportation systems have adverse effects on the climate, emitting greenhouse gases and polluting the air. As such, new modes of non-polluting transportation, including electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, are a major focus of current research and development. This book explores the future of transportation. It is divided into four sections: “Electric Vehicles Infrastructures,” “Architectures of the Electric Vehicles,” “Technologies of the Electric Vehicles,” and “Propulsion Systems.” The chapter authors share their research experience regarding the main barriers in electric vehicle implementation, their thoughts on electric vehicle modelling and control, and network communication challenges

    Using MapReduce Streaming for Distributed Life Simulation on the Cloud

    Get PDF
    Distributed software simulations are indispensable in the study of large-scale life models but often require the use of technically complex lower-level distributed computing frameworks, such as MPI. We propose to overcome the complexity challenge by applying the emerging MapReduce (MR) model to distributed life simulations and by running such simulations on the cloud. Technically, we design optimized MR streaming algorithms for discrete and continuous versions of Conway’s life according to a general MR streaming pattern. We chose life because it is simple enough as a testbed for MR’s applicability to a-life simulations and general enough to make our results applicable to various lattice-based a-life models. We implement and empirically evaluate our algorithms’ performance on Amazon’s Elastic MR cloud. Our experiments demonstrate that a single MR optimization technique called strip partitioning can reduce the execution time of continuous life simulations by 64%. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to propose and evaluate MR streaming algorithms for lattice-based simulations. Our algorithms can serve as prototypes in the development of novel MR simulation algorithms for large-scale lattice-based a-life models.https://digitalcommons.chapman.edu/scs_books/1014/thumbnail.jp
