The aim of the thesis is to explore how to modify a low power processor architecture in order to include a security dedicated non-volatile operator inside its execution flow. In addition, computation paradigm using this new types of operators will be investigated in order to provide automatic compilation, normally off computation possibilities and a new concept of near sensor cryptography.

In particular, problematic sub-operations (non-linear operations leading to side channel leakage for example) of cryptographic algorithm will be implemented using the new operator in order to evaluate either its security and the energy consumption of the resulting change in the computation paradigm.

Full-time PhD EPSRC iCASE Studentship in collabration with UrbanChain

Project Description

Since the privatisation of the energy market in the UK, the inefficiency of its structures have resulted in unaffordable energy for micro consumers such as households and SMEs. Similar market structures distributed worldwide have also experienced the same issue. A few contributing factors leading to this issue are complicated switching process between suppliers, current high-cost technical infrastructure for administration and billing purposes and fixed rate supply system. With the use of blockchain as an infrastructure, there is a significant opportunity to disrupt the current energy market with automation and integration of services, provide savings in the energy provision process and reduce energy bills for end users. However, little scientific information is available regarding the costs associated with running a blockchain-based energy market and the best methods for scaling up such a platform.

eChain is a blockchain-based energy trading platform developed by UrbanChain, which uses hyperledger as a building block. The embedded features of the platform are real-time switching, automated billing and administration, P2P trading between energy generators and consumers, and demand side management.

Funding note

The candidate must be a UK/EU national as required by the funding agency.

Person Specification

Candidates must hold a minimum of an upper Second Class UK Honours degree or international equivalent in a relevant science or engineering discipline.

Skills and Qualifications

- A passion for blockchain technology, preferably concerning the energy sector

- Enthusiasm for working with cloud services and virtual machines

- Capable of producing highly original work and an enquiring mind with well-developed analytical and investigative skills

- A track record in software and/or electronic engineering, distributed ledger systems and/or system security

Closing date for applications: 15 April 2019

Isogeny-based cryptography offers one of the most promising approach for post-quantum cryptography and achieves forward secrecy in communications, a highly desirable feature currently available in TLS protocol suite. Protocols based on isogeny problems enjoy very small public keys compared to all other post-quantum candidates, a very useful feature since those keys are routinely transmitted as part of public key certificates. While all these properties make isogeny-based cryptography very appealing, it is also a relatively new field. As a result, it is less mature than other post-quantum candidates, and arguably not ready yet to meet the requirements of real-life security applications. In particular, there is very little work on hardware implementations of isogeny-based protocols.

The main goal of this studentship is to develop optimized, side-channel protected hardware implementations of isogeny-based protocols.

The student will be integrated within the University of Birmingham’s Centre for Cyber Security and Privacy and they will collaborate with more experienced researchers on this research program. They will be supervised by Dr. Sujoy Sinha Roy, Dr. Christophe Petit and Dr. Flavio Garcia. All three are members of Birmingham’s Academic Center of Excellence in Cyber security.

Person specification:

2:1 Honours undergraduate degree and/or postgraduate degree with Distinction (or an international equivalent) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematical Engineering or closely related discipline. The ideal candidate for this position will be familiar with low-level programming, hardware architecture design and cryptography, but other candidates with a strong academic record will also be considered.

Funding Notes: The candidate must be a UK national as required by the funding agency.

Total stipend to student: £22,000 (year1), £22,500 (year2), £23,000 (year3), £11,750 (6 months of year4). The stipend is tax free. This is a research position with limited or no teaching requirements.
