Executive Summary : | The project aims to address security issues related to data privacy, counter overflow, side-channel attacks, data integrity, and denial-of-service in emerging non-volatile memories (NVMs) and improve their longevity. The focus is on addressing the wear-out of NVMs due to security provisioning like encryption, which increases their wear. NVMs are increasingly used in devices like IoT devices, sensors, and edge processing units due to their density and power efficiency. Conventional SRAM-DRAM based memories are unsuitable for these applications due to their high leakage and ability to retain data over longer periods without power supply. To address these security threats, the project proposes methods to handle these issues, including encryption before storage, which can increase bit-flips and wear-out of NVMs. Additionally, the project aims to develop methods to increase the lifetime of NVMs. |
