A system-on-chip (SoC) Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device combines both a multicore hard processor system (HPS) and an FPGA fabric on the same hardware package. Embedded systems that employ commercial SoC FPGA devices are prone to attacks at different levels of abstraction, e.g., zero-day OS attacks, weak protocols, and buggy application logic. The primary objective of this proposal is to investigate potential security vulnerabilities pertinent to SoC FGPA platforms used in shipboard systems on Navy ships and to develop approaches to address the identified vulnerabilities.
