Hardware and software for cryptography and security
Research topics:
- High performance and secure arithmetic operators for finite field arithmetic Fp and F2m
- Dedicated processor for ECC (elliplitic curve cryptography)
- Countermeasures against physical attacks (side channel analysis, fault injection)
- Redundant and randomized representations of numbers (e.g. scalar in [k]P)
- Arithmetic operators with reduced side channel leakage
- Hardware support for secure virtualization in embedded systems
- Hardware random number generation for high performance and secure applications
- TRNG (true random number generator) for ASIC and FPGA implementations
- Hardware on-line randomness quality monitoring (statistical tests: FIPS 140-1, AIS 31)
