A postdoc position is opened by The Université Libre de Bruxelles and the company Hipperos in the domain of Secured Real-Time Operating System. The aim of the research is to propose measures to introduce security in the architecture of a modern Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) in the sense of allowing Multiple Levels of Security. This means both the security of the RTOS itself related to the authentication of the kernel, updates, drivers, services, ... as well as the secure management of applications (registration of a new application, update and upgrade of applications and execution of applications) and the security of data inside applications. The researcher would study the HIPPEROS (http://hipperos.com) architecture and propose, based on the state-of-the-art of secure operating systems, how to smoothly integrate such an architecture in the existing development process of HIPPEROS. The researcher will implement the proposed architecture in the operating system.
