Thin Wing EMA - System on Chip with Synchronized TRust and Assurance (SaSTRA)
Abstract
Thin Wing Electromechanical Actuator (EMA) offers significant benefits with respect to power density and performance for flight control systems in the next-generation of aircrafts. The cyber physical system (CPS) security design for such EMAs is of immediate need because of the safety critical nature of the application which has not being addressed so far. This research proposes to develop a novel system on chip (SoC) approach using COTS FPGA - SoC with Synchronized TRust and Assurance (SaSTRA) to demonstrate resiliency of the Thin Wing EMA in presence of CPS vulnerabilities. The research takes a holistic approach of embedding and synchronizing Root of Trust (RoT) and security monitors within multiple layers of the CPS to provide a mechanism for FPGA assurance at the application level.
