He is one of seven researchers from\u0026nbsp;around\u0026nbsp;the world to receive this award who work in the areas of quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and\u0026nbsp;other\u0026nbsp;emerging innovative technologies.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMukhopadhyay is the Joseph M. Pettit Professor in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), and he leads the Gigascale Reliable Energy-Efficient Nanosystem (GREEN) Lab. He received the Intel Outstanding Researcher Award for his collaborative research on\u0026nbsp;\u0026ldquo;Integrated Voltage Regulators for Power Attack Protection of Encryption Engines.\u0026rdquo;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EModern system-on-chips (SoCs) ranging from high performance processors to smart phones to Internet-of-Things devices include on-chip encryption circuits. An encrypted message is secure as long as the key is a secret. But whenever an encryption engine operates, it dissipates power and generates electromagnetic emissions that depends on the value of the secret key. An adversary can \u0026ldquo;listen\u0026rdquo; to these signals and find out the secret key through statistical analysis. This problem is known as side channel analysis, and it is a critical threat to modern microelectronics. The traditional approaches to reduce this information leakage often increases energy consumption or slows down the circuit.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn this collaborative project with Intel, Arvind Singh and Monodeep Kar, both former Ph.D. students in the GREEN Lab, and Mukhopadhyay have explored a new way to address this problem. The integrated voltage regulators are an essential component to improve energy-efficiency of modern SoCs. The GREEN lab team has demonstrated security-aware voltage regulators that, along with assisting in energy-management, also reduce information leakage from encryption engines. Their design makes it thousands (3000X) of times harder to attack a chip but adds minimal overhead. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe project has led to multiple articles in top circuit conferences and journals, including the International Solid-State Circuits Conference,\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003EIEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits,\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;and\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003EIEEE Transactions on Power Electronics\u003C\/em\u003E; many tutorials and invited presentations; and two Ph.D. theses.
