Welcome! Embedded Security and Hardware Hacking – MITRE Project Beaver Works Summer Institute will cover several cybersecurity topics with a focus on threats that are especially concerning for embedded systems. These topics include cryptography, embedded systems, software security, side-channel analysis, and fault-injection. This background will help prepare students for the summer course, during which they will design and perform security assessments of multiple implementations of an embedded system. They will learn the basics of embedded security and hardware hacking by designing a secure system and performing security assessments of classmates’ designs to see who can find and fix the most security flaws.
