Offer Description

The first objective of this work will be to investigate the impact on security of current state-of-the-art solutions initially proposed to answer to reliability requirements, and vice versa. This work will be based on a theoretical study of current state-of-the-art contributions, as well as on the practical evaluation of the degree of reliability and security. This study will start on the evaluation of a specific node, but will then be extended to the study of reliability and security at the network level (i.e. taking into account several nodes communicating on a dedicated protocol. The study may focus on hardware security and reliability with an extension to physical layer.

For this study, we will use the analysis/audit (communication buses, memory dump ...) and physical attack equipment (side-channel attacks and fault injection) of the connected objects platform of the IETR lab.

According to provided results, a second objective will be to propose and implement i) an enhancement of the considered contributions and/or ii) a new approach dealing with reliability and security.

Among the scientific challenges to be addressed, this PhD project will focus on:

• The study and selection of state-of-the-art reliability/security mechanisms to consider;

• The proposal and implementation of enhanced/new "safety approaches", as well as their evaluation via practical experimentation in terms of reliability and security;

• The promotion and dissemination of this work via research publications.
