Internet-of-things and cyber-physical systems are becoming increasingly applicable in industrialand residential environments, opening up new opportunities for smart homes, sensor networks,and smart manufacturing. While becoming progressively more capable, this class of computingdevices is typically resource-constrained with limited energy and data storage. It is thusimperative that critical applications commonly used in these devices, such as communicationand debugging, be carefully designed to have minimal energy, performance, and area overheadwhile embracing the diversity of software and hardware present within these systems. Theproject’s novelties are presenting new approaches for enabling low-power low-overheadcommunication, fingerprinting, and debugging in internet-of-things systems. The commoninsight in all the proposed solutions is, instead of imposing additional overhead for achieving aparticular functionality (e.g., communication or debugging), we leverage unintentional physicalsignals created by the system (called side-channels) to enable the desired functionalities. As aresult, we are able to propose innovative and radically different methods. The project's broadersignificance and importance is that the proposed solutions enjoy lower energy, performance,and area storage overheads since it eliminates the need for additional infrastructure on thedevice to achieve the required functionality while being applicable to a wide range of systems.The objective of this project is to set out a research agenda for developing techniques andsystems for addressing the fundamental challenges of internet-of-things systems. The key ideain this proposal is to leverage physical side-channels, unintentionally created by the targetsystem, for useful purposes. Specifically, this research aims to fulfill three major objectives: (i)we design a new method for transmitting AND receiving data using side-channels. The proposedmethod relies only on software and is extremely low overhead. (ii) We develop a new strategyfor device detection and authentication by relying only on physical side-channels as opposed toleveraging radio frequency signals which are extensively used in the state-of-the-art. (iii) Wepropose a new method for debugging Internet of Things devices by using physical side-channels.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

文字和网络物理系统越来越适用于工业和住宅环境，为智能家居，传感器网络和智能制造提供了新的机会。尽管逐渐变得越来越有能力，但这种类别的计算设施通常会在能源和数据存储有限的情况下资源受限。因此，在这些设备中常用的关键应用程序（例如通信和调试）的仔细设计，以具有最小的能量，性能和领域的头顶，同时拥抱这些系统中存在的软件和硬件的多样性，这是显而易见的。该项目的新颖性正在提出新的方法，以实现低功率低空通信，指纹和在三个系统中进行调试的方法。我们在所有提出的解决方案中的共同视力是，我们没有施加其他开销来实现特定功能（例如，通信或调试），而是利用系统创建的无意义的物理信号（称为侧通道）来启用所需功能。与以前一样，我们能够提出创新和根本不同的方法。该项目的广泛意义和重要性是，拟议的解决方案享有较低的能源，性能和区域存储间接费用，因为它消除了设备上对实现所需功能的额外基础架构的需求，同时适用于广泛的系统。该项目的目标是为开发互联网系统的技术和系统设定了一个研究技术和系统。该建议的关键想法是利用目标系统无意间创建的物理侧通道，以实现有用的目的。具体来说，本研究旨在实现三个主要目标：（i）我们设计了一种使用侧通道传输和接收数据的新方法。所提出的方法仅依赖于软件，并且开销极低。 （ii）我们通过仅依靠物理侧通道而不是在最先进的图像中广泛使用的射频信号来制定一种新的设备检测和身份验证策略。 （iii）Wepropose通过使用物理侧通道来调试物联网设备的新方法。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准，被认为是珍贵的支持。
