Deliverables

Documents, reports (7)

Report about security requirements

This report explains how abstract high-level security requirements are handled in the trusted life cycle and how they are broken down into more concrete procedural requirements for the life cycle phases, and into low-level security requirements for the components.

Models for formal verification

This deliverable is a report describing how to verify the security of software running on the RISC-V processor from D3.1 and describing models for formal verification of open-source cryptographic hardware accelerators against physical attacks as used in D3.2. There will be an interim version provided for the review in M18.

Report about essential and beyond-essential s&p guarantees for intra-device communication in restricted environments

This report is the output of T5.3 and T5.4 and shows how to design and implement protocols to provide essential and beyond-essential security and privacy guarantees for intra-device communication taking advantage of open-source hardware. There will be an interim version provided for the review in M18.

Report about trusted life cycle design methodology for OSH

The deliverable provides the description of the methodology for composing open-source components. We envision a trusted life cycle of the device composed of several phases. The report will formalize these phases and identify the interaction and feedback of the design and production process up to the device decommissioning. The report provides the guidelines for the secure composition of building blocks. The guidelines help to achieve a secure result leveraging the security features of each component.

Report on security audit and testing

This report will describe the design of hardware/firmware hybrid security testing mechanism and the advanced security testing of mixed source firmware programs. There will be an interim version provided for the review in M18.

Project quality plan

The project quality plan (the project handbook) constitutes a set of project templates and explains the project management, review and internal quality control process, as well as other organizational topics such as meeting organization.

Report about essential and beyond-essential s&p guarantees for inter-device communication in restricted environments

This report is the output of T5.1 and T5.2 and describes how to design and implement protocols to provide essential and beyond-essential security and privacy guarantees for device to device communication taking advantage of open-source hardware. There will be an interim version provided for the review in M18.

Demonstrators, pilots, prototypes (5)

Prototype of automatic security pre-silicon SW testing

This deliverable will consist into a research prototype of the hardware firmware hybrid security testing mechanism that is compatible with mixed open-source/closed-source firmware programs.

WP3, WP4, WP5 Demonstrator platform

Final project delivery, report and user guide how to reuse the delivery artefacts, reproduce the results for executable examples, final evaluation of project and suggestions for future work will be part of the report. The deliverable will be accompanied by a confidential appendix including sensitive information.

RISC-V processor with countermeasures against microarchitectural attacks

This deliverable is an open-source implementation of a RISC-V processor with countermeasures against microarchitectural attacks.

Hardware implementations of cryptographic building blocks with formally verifiable protection against physical attacks

This deliverable are open-source hardware implementations of cryptographic building blocks with formally verifiable protection against physical attacks.

Intra-device and inter-device secure communication prototypes

This deliverable provides prototypes (i.e., implementations) of secure intra-device and inter-device communication protocols. The prototypes will be used in WP6’s demonstrators.
