PHD STUDENT OR POST-DOC IN SUSTAINABLE TRUST ANCHOR FOR IOT

Your missionCollaborating with two experienced teams in security, digital hardware and software, you will contribute to the development of an embedded anchor of trust for future generation of sustainable IoT devices, enabling features such as post quantum cryptography, threshold cryptography, distributed architectures, or reconfigurability over the air. You will be working closely with a diverse team of engineers and researchers, and you will take a leading role in transforming a vision into tangible IPs. Your responsibilities Research in applied cryptography and implementations for embedded devices.Implement cryptography and security primitives for embedded devices; mainly HW / SW co-design.Develop Proof of concepts based on advanced cryptography topics.Harden security modules against side channel attacks, software attacks and other threats.Adopt a holistic approach to design and implement robust features yielding solid foundations for end-to-end security.Propose innovative security IPs, challenge them against state of the art and review them with peers. Your profileKnow-how PhD graduate or an MSc graduate.Background in one or more of these fields : digital design, embedded software design and applied cryptography.A high motivation to progress and excel in the field of applied cryptography and embedded security.Experience in digital hardware or embedded software development.Programming skills in VHDL, C, Python (or equivalent).Fluent in English. French or German are an advantage. Interpersonal skills Natural curiosity and ability to adapt to new situations.Autonomous and hands-on, motivated to take initiative in the development of innovative solutions.Open-minded attitude and well-developed team-spirit.
