We present a safety verification framework for design-time and run-time assurance of learning-based components in aviation systems. Our proposed framework integrates two novel methodologies. From the design-time assurance perspective, we…
Hardware/Software (HW/SW) interfaces, mostly implemented as devices and device drivers, are pervasive in various computer systems. Nowadays HW/SW interfaces typically undergo intensive testing and validation before release, but they are…
Many types of formal verification establish properties about abstract high-level program representations, leaving a large gap to programs at runtime. Although gaps can sometimes be narrowed by techniques such as refinement, a verified…
FPGAs have become a popular choice for deploying deep learning architectures (DLA). There are many researchers that have explored the deployment and mapping of DLA on FPGA. However, there has been a growing need to do design-time…
To help improve the safety and accessibility of indoor spaces, researchers and health professionals have created assessment instruments that enable homeowners and trained experts to audit and improve homes. With advances in computer vision,…
This paper surveys how formal verification can be used to prove the correctness of ad hoc routing protocols, which are fundamental infrastructure of wireless sensor networks. The existing techniques fall into two classes: verification on…
In this paper, we set out to systematically design a minimal active RoT for tiny low-end MCU-s. We begin with the following questions: (1) What functions and hardware support are required to guarantee actions in the presence of malware?,…
The design of tiny trust anchors has received significant attention over the past decade, to secure low-end MCU-s that cannot afford expensive security mechanisms. In particular, hardware/software (hybrid) co-designs offer low hardware…
Wireless sensor networks consist of a large number of distributed sensor nodes so that potential risks are becoming more and more unpredictable. The new entrants pose the potential risks when they move into the secure zone. To build a door…
