Wei Yan, Assistant Professor, Clarkson University
Will present a talk entitled:
“FPGA SECURITY: What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?”
Abstract: Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have proved the academic and industrial values since their inception. Now FPGAs include millions of gates, megabytes of memories, high-speed interfaces, and even multicore processors. The upgraded scales lead to high-end applications such as machine learning acceleration, high-performance cloud server, quantum cryptography, and other critical industrial control units. Eventually, there is an increasing need to protect these sensitive applications. This seminar describes several state-of-the-art FPGA attacks and the corresponding security primitives as practical defense solutions.
Bio: Wei Yan is currently an assistant professor of electrical & computer engineering at Clarkson University. Previously he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Washington University in St. Louis. He received his Ph.D. in electrical & computer engineering from University of Connecticut and his master of engineering degree from University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. His research interests include FPGA-based digital systems, hardware and embedded security, fault tolerance algorithms, solid-state memory, internet of things, and blockchain technology.
