Security of Biochip Cyberphysical Systems

This book provides readers with a valuable guide to understanding security and the interplay of computer science, microfluidics, and biochemistry in a biochip cyberphysical system (CPS).  The authors uncover new, potential threat and trust-issues to address, as this emerging technology is poised to be adapted at a large scale. Readers will learn how to secure biochip CPS by leveraging the available resources in different application contexts, as well as how to ensure intellectual property (IP) is protected against theft and counterfeits. This book enables secure biochip CPS design by helping bridge the knowledge gap at the intersection of the multi-disciplinary technology that drives biochip CPS.

Rafael Song's research and teaching interests are interdisciplinary in both mechanical engineering disciplines such as design and manufacturing of MEMS devices, fluid mechanics, and micro/nanofabrication, as well as in biological engineering areas such as BioMEMS devices for separation and detection of biomolecules, neuroprosthetic implants, and transport phenomena in biological systems. He received his BS, MS, and PhD from RWTH Aachen University, Germany and worked at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) as a Senior Research Scientist. He joined Fraunhofer USA as a Senior Engineer in 2001 and worked in the Micro/Nanofluidic BioMEMS Group in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT as a Research Scientist. Song held an appointment as a Research Fellow at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston until he joined NYUAD in September 2012. He currently holds an affiliate appointment at the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at NYU-Poly. Song was awarded the Postdoctoral Fellowship from Merck/Computational Systems Biology Initiative of MIT for 2004-2006 and an Outstanding Research Team Award from President of KIST in 2000. He is a recipient of the German Konrad-Adenauer Foundation Scholarship.

Krish Chakrabarty is the William H. Younger Distinguished Professor of Engineering in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, at Duke University in Durham, NC. He has been at Duke University since 1998. His current research is focused on: testing and design-for-testability of integrated circuits (especially 3D and multicore chips); digital microfluidics, biochips, and cyberphysical systems; optimization of digital print and production system infrastructure. His research projects in the recent past have also included chip cooling using digital microfluidics, wireless sensor networks, and real-time embedded systems. Research support is provided by the National Science Foundation, the Semiconductor Research Corporation, Cisco Systems, HP Labs, Huawei Technologies, and Intel Corporation through Intel Lab's Academic Research Office. Other sponsors in the past have included National Institutes of Health, DARPA and the Office of Naval Research.

Prof. Chakrabarty received the B. Tech. degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India in 1990, and the M.S.E. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1992 and 1995, respectively, all in Computer Science and Engineering . During 1990-95, he was a research assistant at the Advanced Computer Architecture Laboratory of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Michigan. During 1995-1998, he was an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Boston University.
