AB  -    Integrating Emerging Cryptographic Engineering Research and Security                                EducationUnlike traditional embedded systems such as secure smart cards, emerging secure deeply-embedded systems, e.g., implantable and wearable medical devices, have larger “attack surface”.A security breach in such systems which are embedded deeply in human bodies or objects wouldbe life-threatening, for which adopting traditional solutions might not be practical due to tightconstraints of these often-battery-powered systems. Unfortunately, although emergingcryptographic engineering research mechanisms have started solving this critical problem,university education (at both graduate and undergraduate level) lags comparably. One of thepivotal reasons for such a lag is the multi-disciplinary nature of the emerging securitybottlenecks (mathematics, engineering, science, and medicine, to name a few). Based on theaforementioned motivation, in this work, we present an effective research and educationintegration strategy to overcome this issue.Although there have been previous efforts for integrating research and teaching in traditionalsecurity, to the best of our knowledge, a practical solution and an effective assessment strategyhave not been adopted for emerging cryptographic engineering integration. Our pedagogicalhypothesis is that emerging cryptographic engineering research which aims at solving securitybreaches in deeply-embedded systems can be integrated in university education considering twoteaching and learning approaches; (a). Developing a respective multi-disciplinary laboratory forboth research and teaching of general and hardware/software security, and (b). Advancingeducation through inter- and intra-university research collaborations. It is noted that the authorsof the proposed work are from different and diverse backgrounds and have prior expertise in thetopic proposed and have been with world-known security and cryptography groups.The assessment strategy for the proposed integration is two-fold. A pilot project has beendeveloped for the theoretical evaluations using implantable cochlear medical devices through thewell-known center for hard-of-hearing students at the authors’ university. The securityassessment is based on the resources in the already-developed “Applied Cryptography”laboratory; the research is conducted by the graduate students. As future work, the experimentswill be part of two relevant graduate/undergraduate courses taught by the authors. The form ofoutcome of the assessment will be mostly in programming languages specially hardwaredescription languages of cryptographic algorithms developed in the courses as final projects.The evaluation of success of integration of research and teaching is performed by a group ofresearch/teaching faculty members from diverse departments (Electrical, Computer Engineering,Security, and Computer Science as well as Biomedical Engineering). The results will be placedon the world-wide web for advancing global education and with the aim of possibleimprovement from both research and education communities. A closely-monitored datamanagement plan will be pursued for quality assurance of data which could be possibly modifiedby engineering industry and academia. Finally, the eventual outcome of this integration is a step-forward to fill the current gap of research in and education of emerging security mechanisms.
