Target Output: A physical, low-cost Hardware Zero-Trust Security Gateway designed for DIY Artificial Pancreas Systems (such as OpenAPS and Nightscout). Motivation: In open-source closed-loop medical tech, control algorithms act as the biomanufacturing “process controller,” dynamically calculating real-time insulin dosing based on continuous glucose monitor (CGM) telemetry. However, DIY systems often communicate over unencrypted webhooks or local APIs with static keys. An attacker or corrupted network packet could trigger an unsafe over-delivery of insulin. Building an inline hardware interceptor ensures every dosing command is physically and cryptographically verified before reaching the insulin pump driver.https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/austin-james/final-project/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/austin-james/final-project/index.html
