HERMES: Hardware attacks Evaluation, Resilience and Mitigation in Exemplar Systems

Secure systems rely on physical implementation of hardware and software systems, where various information leakage can be observed through various side channels and extracted with advance side channel analysis (SCA) algorithms. Recent advancement in computing, sensors, and SCA techniques have exposed new and more dangerous vulnerabilities. Hence a comprehensive SCA evaluation framework that can greatly facilitate side channel analysis for secure computing system and promote the side-channel aware software and hardware system security design and validation is highly desired. Proposed research effort is to design and develop a extendible SCA testbed which integrates state-of-the-are SCA techniques into secure computing system with internal/heterogeneous sensor and modern processor architectures with Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).
