Secure System-on-Chip Challenge: A red team-blue team stress test for state-of-the-art System-on-Chip designs

Abstract

Hack@DAC is a hardware-security competition for students and industry experts. It is an annual, student-run event collocated with the IEEE/ACM Design Automation Conference, which attracts significant student participation. The primary goal of Hack@DAC is to foster interest in cyber security education by creating a fun platform for engagement and participation in this field, which is in critical need of talent. This dearth of competent cyber security professionals is a recognized problem. As a competition, Hack@DAC is important because it draws attention to the ever-expanding opportunities -- both educational and career-oriented -- that exist within this dynamic field. Hack@DACÕs popularity, exemplified through the large number of students (around 200) drawn to participate this year, represents an opportunity for maximum impact. Funding is being requested to support the award component of Hack@DAC competition. Financial awards will be given to winning teams and support student travel grants. Trophies and medals will also be distributed to winning teams at the DAC Awards Ceremony on June25, 2018, commemorating studentsÕ achievements.
