    The post holder will work with Prof. Mark Ryan, Dr Flavio Garcia and Dr David Oswald on the EPSRC project ‘User-controlled hardware security anchors: evaluation and designs’, part of the EPSRC/NCSC Research Institute in Hardware Security and Embedded Systems (RISE). Many modern processors are equipped with hardware extensions that allow one to set up a "trusted execution environment" (TEE). This allows programs to run securely, with protection from other programs or operating system software running on the processor. TEEs are an attractive way to provide software implementations (e.g. for user authentications) with security similar to pure hardware realisation. There is a variety of TEE-supporting hardware extensions, with a similar variety of security assumptions, threat models, and potential attack vectors. The project has two parts. The first part is to evaluate actual and potential TEE systems, and point out security weaknesses. The second part is to devise ways of using TEEs in applications, focusing on user authentication applications. HP Labs (formerly known as Hewlett Packard) is a partner on the project and is actively involved in the research. Therefore, the successful applicant will have the opportunity of working with colleagues from HP Labs. The successful candidate will be based at the School of Computer Science as part of the Centre for Cyber Security and Privacy and will be working closely with Professor Mark Ryan. The centre is recognised by NCSC and EPSRC as an Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research.

    ETH Zurich OR Crypto Quantique, London
    Job Posting Job Posting
    Thanks to a collaborative project between The Applied Cryptography Group at ETH Zurich and the London-based startup Crypto Quantique, there are openings for Cryptography researchers with both institutions. The project is funded by Eureka Eurostars.

    The Project Crypto Quantique’s role is to develop a novel Key Provisioning Architecture (KPA) for the generation, distribution, and certification of cryptographic keys used by lnternet of Things (IoT) devices and cloud services. The aim is to build a quantum-driven security platform by combining the KPA with cryptographic keys generated through quantum tunnelling behaviour in semiconductor devices. The Applied Cryptography Group’s main role in the project is to lead an investigation of how to transition Crypto Quantique’s KPA to use post-quantum cryptographic algorithms in the KPA protocols. They will also assist Crypto Quantique in conducting formal security analysis of the constituent protocols currently used in the KPA, and in developing and analysing new cryptographic protocols where necessary.

    How to Apply? We look forward to receiving your online application with the following documents: CV; list of scientific publications; pointers to relevant software development projects, if applicable; contact details for 3 referees.
