- Project Title: Side-Channel Assisted Anomaly Detection for Embedded Platforms
About the Project
As my undergraduate thesis, I worked on a lightweight anomaly detection algorithm for embedded platforms at the Cyber Security Research Centre, NTU. For this anomaly detection, we use the side-channel information we obtain from Hardware Performance Counters(HPCs). Hardware Performance Counters are the special purpose registers present in the Performance Measuring Unit of all modern-day processors. They can be used to record micro-architectural events such as cycles, instructions, cache-references, cache-misses, branches, branch-misses. The system is currently being incorporated in a driver-assistance system (ADAS) and will soon be published.
