Context: This position is funded by the French ANR project IDROMEL, which aims at investigating and preventing power side-channel leakages induced by micro-architectural design choices. (Partners: Arm France, CEA, IRISA, LAAS, Sorbonne University),
Group: EMSEC (https://www.irisa.fr/emsec/)
Duration: 20 month
Starting: Beginning of 2021.

Main Objectives:

Understanding and modeling power leakages due to micro-architectural features.

Test vector definition to trigger side-channel leakage caused by some micro-architectural features.

Side-channel measurements on different Arm platforms using our lab equipment.

Side-channel exploitation analysis.

Exchange and collaborate with other partners in the project.

Publications in top-rated conferences/journal.

Prerequisites:
We are looking for team players who are motivated and able to drive top-quality research. The area of research lies between several fields and we expect at least competences in one of them:

embedded devices / micro-architecture, and/or

side-channel analysis, and/or

statistics, machine learning, deep learning.
