GOMAC 2019: “Introducing a Trust Metric Foundation and Deriving Trust-for-Buck”

Graf Research Corporation will be returning to GOMAC, this time in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In addition to marveling at the ridges of the Sandia mountains and the wine-colored sunsets of New Mexico, we’ll be presenting our paper, “Introducing a Trust Metric Foundation and Deriving Trust-for-Buck.” Paper contributors include Scott Harper, Jonathan Graf, Whitney Batchelor, Tim Dunham, and Peter Athanas. If you’re going to GOMAC, come out and say hello to us!

Abstract: This study defines a flexible quantitative metric for measuring trust-related aspects across a broad range of domains and a means of using that foundation to derive domain-specific measurements. A Trust Basis Metric is described here along with examples that build on its foundation to measure assurances and identify cost-effective trust-enhancing investments. Our primary motivation in performing this study was to quantitatively determine the best increase in trust per dollar (Trust-for-Buck) when investing in current device manufacture and distribution flows for microelectronic components.

Graf Research at IEEE HOST (and TAME and WISE)

Graf Research will be at the IEEE International Symposium on Hardware Oriented Security and Trust (HOST) as well as the co-located workshops the Trusted and Assured MicroElectronics Forum (TAME) and Women in Hardware and Systems Security (WISE).   Please say hello to Jonathan Graf, who will be a poster session chair and judge at HOST and a panelist in the TAME forum, and Whitney Batchelor, who will be a poster judge at WISE.  See you there!
