Securing components for the IoT market, as well as critical cyberphysical infrastructures, requires analyzing their vulnerabilities and defining hardware and software countermeasures at the fair cost. The increasing complexity of the processors and the applications they run means that the software fault models (such as instruction skips, or instruction replacement) usually used to analyze the vulnerability of their code are no longer sufficient to express the diversity of faulty behaviors in modern architectures [1]. Indeed, architecture designers have progressively added many complex hardware blocks (such as pipeline, cache memory, branch prediction, or speculative execution) to processors in order to optimize program execution. At the same time, fault injection techniques are constantly progressing (e.g., localized ElectroMagnetic or laser attacks, glitch injection attacks) allowing today higher-order injections (both multi-temporal and multi-spatial). Faced with these attacks, designers must implement countermeasures to detect or mask the effects of injected faults. These countermeasures can be implemented at the hardware level (e.g., duplication of elements, error correcting codes, isolation mechanisms) or at the software level (e.g., duplication of instructions or algorithms, insertion of security tests, signature verification). The design and validation of these countermeasures requires a realistic representation of the effects of faulty attacks (fault model) at the hardware and/or software level. The difficulties encountered are then: (1) the relevance of the fault models: do these fault models correctly represent the effects that an attacker can generate on a target processor? (2) the adequacy of countermeasures: do the countermeasures effectively protect the system, are they oversized and therefore too costly? (3) the link between software and hardware countermeasures: how to combine software and hardware countermeasures efficiently and at the fair cost, how to link the different levels for fault modeling? The CLAM project and the thesis that we propose aim to answer these questions by associating 3 French laboratories with complementary specialties.

The new-age processor is going to require hardware-oriented solutions as a primary design criterion for the security against threats. Alternative computational architectures proposed in recent years drive this idea by the inclusion of multi-value logic operations. The realization of multi-value logic gates and testing the advantages of polymorphic inputs and outputs of a circuit, however, remains elusive due to the existing technology gap. In this project, we put forward a new logic-locking framework that will allow us to incorporate multi-value and multi-layer logic with existing CMOS-based logic-locking architectures. Enabling future-generation processors with BioNanoLock is the prime target of the project with small (10-100 logic gates) to medium-sized (100-10000 logic gates) circuits as an intermediate goal. We also envision developing heterogeneous integrated systems for secure information processing in the long-term. In BioNanoLock, an encoded DNA sequence acts as a secret ‘biological activation-key’. This key is molecularly recognized as a unique and secret pattern of key-gates (called biological key-gates) or activates them. This, in turn, enables the CMOS-based key-gates in the logic-locked circuit with the appropriate key value. Different voltage-levels in the multi-valued logic define the “on” or “off” state of the key-gates, thereby adding another level of ambiguity for an attacker and making it harder for the attacker to unlock the circuit. Moving away from the classical CMOS-based techniques for logic locking, the BioNanoLock project enables the researchers to delve into novel logic locking techniques. The project also provides opportunities to map the new logic locking paradigms and attack methodologies to a different class of problems in the complexity theory. As novel simulation methodologies are unexplored in the interdisciplinary domain, the project provides ample opportunities for research and innovation.

    Ph. D student in Post-Quantum Cryptography
    ISAE SUPAERO, Toulouse, France
    Job Posting Job Posting

    In late 2016, NIST issued a call for proposals for the standardization of cryptographic systems resistant to a quantum computer for encryption, key exchange and signature primitives (hereafter NIST PQC). The standardization process is currently ending its second phase, with only 26 candidates remaining.

    Each submission comes with a software implementation, targeting standard security levels for widespread applications, such as e-commerce.

    Topic 1: General improvement of post-quantum primitives

    During this thesis, the successful candidate will study the NIST PQC submissions still running for standardization and will propose modifications that improve the submissions in general (e.g. tighter reductions, improved theoretical error rate analysis, etc.), or that provide specific advantages in constrained settings (e.g. soft/hard implementation simplicity, reduced bandwidth, reduced latency, etc.).

    Topic 2: Hardware implementations of cryptographic schemes based on error-correcting codes and/or lattices

    The software performance of NIST PQC submissions has been thoroughly studied. On the other hand, the hardware performance (e.g. energy cost or gate cost on broadly available FPGAs) of many submissions is still not very well understood. During this thesis, the successful candidate will study code-based and/or lattice-based NIST PQC submissions, and propose hardware implementations of both the original submisssions and variations designed by the candidate to improve hardware performance.
