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