Hardware Security A Hands-On Learning Approach

Hardware Security: A Hands-On Learning Approach provides a broad, comprehensive, and practical overview of hardware security encompassing all levels of our electronic hardware infrastructure. It covers basic concepts through advanced attack techniques and countermeasures, as illustrated through theory, case studies, and well-designed hands-on laboratory exercises for each key concept. The book is primarily intended to serve as a textbook for upper-level undergraduate students studying computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, and biomedical engineering, as well as a handy reference for graduate students, researchers and industry professionals.

For academic courses, the book contains a robust suite of teaching ancillaries, including:

• Schematic, layout and design files for a printed circuit board for hardware hacking (i.e. the HaHa board) that can be used by instructors to fabricate boards and provide to students for hands-on experiments
• A suite of videos demonstrating different hardware vulnerabilities, hardware attacks and countermeasures (downloadable from Elsevier website)
• Register transfer level (RTL) hardware code for AES to implement side-channel attacks (downloadable from Elsevier website)

Detailed description and user manual for the companion material

• Provides a thorough overview of computer hardware including fundamentals of computer systems and the implications of security risks therein, studies of known and proposed attack methodologies and countermeasures, case studies, and laboratory exercises to train students on key security issues at each level of hardware abstraction
• Includes discussion of the liability, safety, and privacy implications of hardware and software security and interaction among them, topics often overlooked in the overall spectrum of cybersecurity
• Gives insight into a wide range of security and trust issues and solutions including emerging attacks and protection mechanisms in the electronic hardware life cycle from design, fabrication, test, distribution through supply chain to deployment in the field
