Hardware Solutions for Cybersecurity
— Assoc. Prof. Galia Marinova Technical University-Sofia, Faculty of Telecommunications, Sofia, Bulgaria
Abstract
The lecture makes an overview of the challenges for cybersecurity coming with emerging technologies – IoT/IoE, Cryptocurrencies, Autonomous vehicles Cyberthreats have the potential to turn unmanned systems (autonomous cars, drones, etc.) into weapons. The lecture deals with ... hardware solutions to specific cybersecurity issues emerging with 5G, cryptocurrencies and unmanned systems. The lecture considers Logical encryption technics and experimental setup; Cryptoprocessors (AES IP cores) and hardware security modules; Physical unclonable functions (PUF) on FPGA and VLSI; True and pseudo random bit and number generators for generating keys for encryption standards and hardware-based digital signature; NIST test for randomness; Standards for cybersecurity of autonomous cars, unmanned systems and cryptocurrencies; Side-channel attacks; Artificial Intelligence driven cybersecurity and Cybersecurity powered by deep learning. To illustrate the topic, results from recent studies on hardware applications for cybersecurity are proposed.
