Our group works on design and implementation aspects of security in
embedded systems design. We work on secure protocols and cryptography
implemented in embedded hardware and software. Where needed, we
develop appropriate countermeasures against implementation attacks.
Our team's expertise covers multiple abstraction levels, including circuits,
hardware micro-architecture, firmware, and platform-specific software.
We are also working on methodologies, with a focus on the trade-off
between system performance, system cost, and system security.
