\"Backside shieldings and protections for integrated ciruits against physical attacks\"

Summary : Secure chip manufacturers must ensure the protection of the confidential information contained in their component. This involves software countermeasures (data encryption by a crypto-processor) as well as hardware protections since attackers are now able to access information by attacking the chip with physical methods. Unlike the active side which already includes countermeasures, the back side of the chips remains a preferred target because it is more vulnerable and closer to the active layers of the circuit.

CEA-Leti is working on the development of an efficient, low cost and low power protection using technologies derived from 3D integration. An innovative backside shield, designed and patented by the Leti / DCOS packaging laboratory, was fabricated and showed its effectiveness against fault injection and other typical attacks. Some improvements in the design and structure of the shield have been identified to make it even more difficult to attack. Finally, an extension of the concept to a whole system has been considered in order to collectively protect the back side of several chips.

As part of this thesis, the improvement of the structure and its extension to a system will be studied, in order to propose an optimized design and to lead the technological developments necessary to its implementation on a demonstrator. The PhD student will conduct thermo-mechanical simulation work to size the protection elements for optimal efficiency, then he will participate in the design of the masks necessary for their realization. He will follow the process developments in the clean room and will take part in the physical and / or electrical characterizations. Throughout these processes, he will interact with Leti\'s security experts to ensure that the developments are consistent with the state of the art in terms of attacks and countermeasures.

In recent years, awareness of communication security has vastly increased. In Web communication for example, TLS usage has become ubiquitous. TLS is, however, not always the only or best method. Sometimes more lightweight or message oriented security methods are preferable. This applies especially in the Internet of Things (IoT) or in industrial networks, but also for communication in Cloud environments or service-oriented architectures. However, using these alternative security methods still require manual and error-prone configuration.

The successful candidate for this PhD fellowship position will contribute to a flexible security framework, which assists developers in creating secure services, but also supports automatic service-usage in machine-to-machine communication.

One focus of this PhD project might be: lightweight security mechanisms, security specification languages, security negotiation protocols, code generation for secure communication stubs etc.
