Hardware-Accelerated Line-Rate Bitstream Screening for Secure FPGA Reconfiguration
Rye Stahle-Smith, Carter Antley, Jason D. Bakos +1
As Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) scale in multi-tenant cloud and edge-AI environments, the configuration bitstream has become a critical, yet opaque, security boundary. Ex…
Real-time ML-based Defense Against Malicious Payload in Reconfigurable Embedded Systems
Rye Stahle-Smith, Rasha Karakchi
The growing use of FPGAs in reconfigurable systems introducessecurity risks through malicious bitstreams that could cause denial-of-service (DoS), data leakage, or covert attacks.…
Hybrid Cryptographic Monitoring System for Side-Channel Attack Detection on PYNQ SoCs
Nishant Chinnasami, Rasha Karakchi
AES-128 encryption is theoretically secure but vulnerable in practical deployments due to timing and fault injection attacks on embedded systems. This work presents a lightweight d…
ML-Enhanced AES Anomaly Detection for Real-Time Embedded Security
Nishant Chinnasami, Rye Stahle-Smith, Rasha Karakchi
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a widely adopted cryptographic algorithm, yet its practical implementations remain susceptible to side-channel and fault injection attacks. In…
Toward a Lightweight, Scalable, and Parallel Secure Encryption Engine
Rasha Karakchi, Rye Stahle-Smith, Nishant Chinnasami +1
The exponential growth of Internet of Things (IoT) applications has intensified the demand for efficient, high-throughput, and energy-efficient data processing at the edge. Convent…
Developing a Self-Explanatory Transformer
Rasha Karakchi, Ryan Karbowniczak
While IoT devices provide significant benefits, their rapid growth results in larger data volumes, increased complexity, and higher security risks. To manage these issues, techniqu…
