Abstract:Modern computer microarchitectures build on well-established foundations that have encouraged a pattern of computational homogeneity that many cyberattacks depend on. We suggest that balanced ternary logic can be valuable to Internet of Things (IoT) security, authentication of connected vehicles, as well as hardware and software assurance, and have developed a ternary encryption scheme between a computer and smartcard based on public key exchange through non-secure communication channels to demonstrate the value of balanced ternary systems. The concurrent generation of private keys by the computer and the smartcard uses ternary schemes and cryptographic primitives such as ternary physical unclonable functions. While general purpose ternary computers have not succeeded in general use, heterogeneous computing systems with small ternary computing units dedicated to cryptographic functions have the potential to improve information assurance, and may also be designed to execute binary legacy codes.

“…We also propose a multi-state and machine learning based technique that greatly strengthens the PUFs by reducing CRP error rates. This involves developing novel hardware design and computational mechanisms to create a PUF with multi-state memory, where the measurements of a physical parameter are saved in multiple states format rather than the conventional binary style [12]. To do so, we propose a novel design for the CRP generation process that captures the specific "personality" of the physical elements underlying the PUFs under various conditions (such as ambient temperature).…”

The exponentially increasing number of ubiquitous wireless devices connected to the Internet in Internet of Things (IoT) networks highlights the need for a new paradigm of data flow management in such large-scale networks under software defined wireless networking (SDWN). The limited power and computation capability available at IoT devices as well as the centralized management and decision making approach in SDWN introduce a whole new set of security threats to the networks. In particular, the authentication mechanism between the controllers and the forwarding devices in SDWNs is a key challenge from both secrecy and integrity aspects. Conventional authentication protocols based on public key infrastructure (PKI) are no longer sufficient for these networks considering the large-scale and heterogeneity nature of the networks as well as their deployment cost, and security vulnerabilities due to key distribution and storage. We propose a novel security protocol based on physical unclonable functions (PUFs) known as hardware security primitives to enhance the authentication security in SDWNs. In this approach, digital PUFs are developed using the inherent randomness of the nanomaterials of Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM) that are embedded in most IoT devices to enable a secure authentication and access control in these networks. These PUFs are developed based on a novel approach of multi states, in which the natural drifts due to the physical variations in the environment are predicted to reduce the potential errors in challenge-response pairs of PUFs being tested in different situations. We also proposed a PUF-based PKI protocol to secure the controller in SDWNs. The performance of the developed ReRAM-based PUFs are evaluated in the experimental results. Moreover, the effectiveness of the proposed multi-state machine learning technique to predict the drifts of the PUFs' responses in different temperature and biased conditions is presented. of such networks. In these networks, whenever the network administrators need to change or update a parameter of the protocols, they may need to re-configure all related devices (i.e. routers, switches, and firewalls) throughout the network. Depending on the size of the network, it can be a burdensome and time-consuming process.The recently developed SDN technology aims at addressing the aforementioned challenges by separating the control and data planes. In the SDN paradigm, instead of designating the decision making to every active components in the network, this will be handled by a centralized controller called the network operating system (NOS). For instance, when a switch receives a packet, it chooses the proper action (forward, drop, modify, sending to the controller, etc.) based on the rules (flow table), which are defined by the programmable network applications at the centralized controller that rely on the NOS [39]. The communication between the NOS and the forwarding layer or the data plane is established by some protocols such as OpenFlow [49]. In contrast to ...

Ever since the emergence of the electrical computer and the Von Neumann model, computer architects have adhered to a well‐structured hierarchy of memory solutions, clearly trading off performance and capacity with cost. The ubiquitous memory technologies, dominated by SRAM, DRAM, Flash, and magnetic hard disks, are each situated in a well‐defined location within this hierarchy. However, as processes have scaled into deep nanometer feature sizes and the demand for larger capacities and bandwidths increases, these traditional options face tough challenges and may be limited in their ability to continue to provide the new requirements. New technologies, such as phase change memory (PCM), magnetic RAM (MRAM), and resistive RAM (RRAM), have been researched and developed over the recent past in an attempt to meet these demands and replace some or all of the traditional technologies. In this article, the primary technologies are overviewed, including those that currently fill the memory hierarchy pyramid, the primary candidates to join or replace them in the near‐term, and a number of newer candidates that may arise as legitimate solutions in the farther term. In addition, an overview of the current state of processing within the emerging memory technologies is provided, as an attempt to break free of the traditional Von Neumann paradigm to overcome the energy and performance bottlenecks in modern systems.
