	abstract = {As computing and communications increasingly pervade our lives, security and protection of sensitive data and systems are emerging as extremely important issues. This is especially true for embedded systems, often operating in non-secure environments, and with limited amount of computational, storage, and communication resources available. In servers and desktop systems, Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is currently used as a method to enhance security by enforcing a security control based on policies that confine user programs, or processes, to the minimum amount of privileges that they require for their execution. While providing a powerful mean for enhancing security in UNIX-like systems, SELinux still remains a feature that is too heavy to be fully supported by constrained devices. In this paper, we propose a hardware architecture for enhancing security and accelerating retrieval and applications of SELinux policies in embedded processors. We describe the general ideas be hind our work, discussing motivations, advantages, and limits of the solution proposed, while suggesting the main steps needed to implement the described architecture on common embedded processors.},

	abstract = {Network-on-Chip (NoC) has emerged as a promising solution for scalable communication among steadily growing number of cores integrated in MultiProcessor System-on-Chips (MPSoCs). The increasing system heterogeneity together with the possibility of reconfiguration makes the overall system security one of the major concerns in MPSoC design. On the other hand, modular and scalable design of NoCs enables their enhancements in various directions for supporting services other than simple data routing. In this work we propose a conceptual solution to secure NoC based MPSoCs at different levels of design. The basic idea is to integrate various kinds of security approaches from attack specific protection strategies up to system level security. The concept aims at securing single cores but also, at the same time, prevents potential propagation of the attack through the NoC towards. We prove feasibility via prototype realization in FPGA technology.},

Intertask communication is specified by means of dedicated APIs and the HW-RTOS takes care of the communication requirements of the application and also implements the task scheduling algorithm. The HW-RTOS allows to have smaller footprints, since it avoids the need to link to the final executables traditional software RTOS libraries. Moreover, the HW-RTOS is able to exploit the easy task migration feature provided by an SMP architecture much more efficiently than a traditional software RTOS, due to its faster execution and the authors show how this significantly overcomes the performance achievable with optimal static task partitioning among two processors. Preliminary results show that the hardware overhead in a dual processor architecture is less than 20K gates.},

Since these algorithms are computationally very intensive, some hardware acceleration is needed to support high throughput. In this paper we propose a high level architecture of a System on Chip (SoC) which implements IPSec. This SoC has been thought to be placed on the main data path of the host machine (flow-through architecture), thus allowing for transparent processing of IPSec traffic. The functionalities of the different blocks and their interactions, along with an estimation of the internal memory size, are also shown.},

By redefining only the I/O APIs of the tasks, the HW-RTOS then takes care of the communication requirements of the original application and also implements the task scheduling algorithm. The new software application can then be compiled without any need for POSIX support. The main advantages are smaller and faster executables. We present results that show how a small hardware area, less than 10K gates, can result in a 15X performance improvement when the original software scheduler is replaced by a dedicated HW-RTOS.},

	abstract = {With deep sub-micron technology, chip designers are expected to create System-On-Chip (SOC) solutions by connecting different Intellectual Property (IP) blocks using efficient and reliable interconnection schemes. On chip networks are quite compelling because, by applying networking techniques to on-chip communication, they allow to implement a fully distributed communication pattern with little or no global coordination. This avoids the problems due to the difficulty of implementing future chips with one single clock source and negligible skew. On the other hand, in order to benefit from the NOC communication paradigm, designers should perform a careful functional mapping for taking advantage of spatial locality, by placing the blocks that communicate more frequently closer together. This reduces the use of long global paths and the corresponding energy dissipation. In this work we show how a tile based NOC architecture can be exploited in order to support a flexible hardware/software partitioning of a system-level specification and we present a methodology for the automatic synthesis of the hardware/software interfaces.},
