Secure Hardware-Software Architectures for Robust Computing Systems

Deliverables

Final implementation of the SHARCS hardware techniques

This document reports the implementation details of the selected hardware architectures used in the applications described in WP5.

Dissemination report, year 2

Updated dissemination report for the activities that took place in the second year of the SHARCS project.

Design specification of the SHARCS hardware techniques

This document reports a design specification for all hardware techniques, which will be used in the applications described in WP5.

Dissemination report, year 3

Final dissemination report for the activities of the SHARCS project.

Final implementation of the SHARCS runtime system, software tools and reporting

This document reports the implementation details of the selected software technologies (applied in the language, compiler, runtime and reporting) used in the applications described in WP5.

Recommendations report for security-by-design

The document containing the attack scenarios and how SHARCS technologies can be used to eliminate the possibility of such attacks, along with a list of recommendations for the relevant stakeholders.

Applications and framework requirements for secure-by-design systems

This document will define the requirements of the SHARCS framework. Specifically, what are the features of a secure-by-design system and how the layers of a computing system must be augmented to provide end-to-end security.

Design specification of the SHARCS runtime system, software tools and reporting

This document reports a design specification for all software technologies (applied in the language, compiler, runtime and reporting) which will be used in the applications described in WP5.

Dissemination report, year 1

This document will clearly define the dissemination objectives for the SHARCS project as well as to determine the dissemination channels and activities required to achieve these objectives. It will report on the activities performed, like press releases, presentations given, papers published, articles in popular media, etc. Each year we will report on the progress of the dissemination activities and the targets for the following year.

Requirements of the SHARCS runtime system, software tools and reporting

This document reports possible software technologies aligned with the application requirements, as analyzed in WP2.

SHARCS System architectures and requirements

This document reports possible architectures aligned with the application requirements, as analyzed in WP2. It will also report on the progress of the secure processor, secure memory and secure communication components.

Specification and guidelines for security-by-design

A technical document describing how other applications can take advantage of the SHARCS framework.

Website and collaboration tools

The website will be the main channel through which the general public will gain access to SHARCS results, publications, news and new tools developed in the context of this project. Therefore we plan to make this deliverable available as early as M2, and to regularly update it throughout the project until M36. It will fulfill three di↵erent roles: 1. It will deliver the general information about the project: participants, objectives, status reports and acknowledge EC contribution. 2. It will deliver end-user-oriented output in a friendly, helpful and e↵ective way. The website, along with various means of spreading information on the web, will be the main channel through which the general public will gain access to SHARCS results. 3. Finally, the website will be a complete repository of all the information the project has delivered (e.g., software, public deliverables and demonstrators). As with all our other projects, we will maintain the website beyond the life of the project. For better dissemination of the information, we will also take advantage of social media such as Twitter and Facebook, as a way to aggregate and reach out to our constituency. Complementary to the website, we will employ mailing lists for communication within the consortium and with our EAB. For collaboration, we will be using SVN to maintain all the important documents and all tools developed by the consortium members.
