Design And Implementation Of A Multi-Modal Sensor With On-Chip Security, Ava Hedayatipour Aug 2020

Design And Implementation Of A Multi-Modal Sensor With On-Chip Security, Ava Hedayatipour

Doctoral Dissertations

With the advancement of technology, wearable devices for fitness tracking, patient monitoring, diagnosis, and disease prevention are finding ways to be woven into modern world reality. CMOS sensors are known to be compact, with low power consumption, making them an inseparable part of wireless medical applications and Internet of Things (IoT). Digital/semi-digital output, by the translation of transmitting data into the frequency domain, takes advantages of both the analog and digital world. However, one of the most critical measures of communication, security, is ignored and not considered for fabrication of an integrated chip. With the advancement of Moore's law and …


Design Of Discrete-Time Chaos-Based Systems For Hardware Security Applications, Aysha Shanta Aug 2020

Design Of Discrete-Time Chaos-Based Systems For Hardware Security Applications, Aysha Shanta

Doctoral Dissertations

Security of systems has become a major concern with the advent of technology. Researchers are proposing new security solutions every day in order to meet the area, power and performance specifications of the systems. The additional circuit required for security purposes can consume significant area and power. This work proposes a solution which utilizes discrete-time chaos-based logic gates to build a system which addresses multiple hardware security issues. The nonlinear dynamics of chaotic maps is leveraged to build a system that mitigates IC counterfeiting, IP piracy, overbuilding, disables hardware Trojan insertion and enables authentication of connecting devices (such as IoT …


A Puf Based Lightweight Hardware Security Architecture For Iot, Mesbah Uddin May 2020

A Puf Based Lightweight Hardware Security Architecture For Iot, Mesbah Uddin

Doctoral Dissertations

With an increasing number of hand-held electronics, gadgets, and other smart devices, data is present in a large number of platforms, thereby increasing the risk of security, privacy, and safety breach than ever before. Due to the extreme lightweight nature of these devices, commonly referred to as IoT or `Internet of Things', providing any kind of security is prohibitive due to high overhead associated with any traditional and mathematically robust cryptographic techniques. Therefore, researchers have searched for alternative intuitive solutions for such devices. Hardware security, unlike traditional cryptography, can provide unique device-specific security solutions with little overhead, address vulnerability in …
