Very frequently open source microprocessors are used to derive secure versions. The hardening of such devices against attacks can be done either invasively (by physically changing the device) or non-invasively (by adding circuits around the device and software inside it). We propose, in collaboration with an industrial partner, a funded PhD thesis on this topic. The student will be based in the Paris area and will benefit from an R&D environment in which several PhD students work already.

The candidate should have good knowledge of HDL design and a creative mindset.

The successful candidate should have a Master’s degree in hardware design or in microelectronics or a related field. Knowledge of cryptography and hardware security is an asset. Knowledge of French is not required.
