International Association
for Cryptologic Research

Applications are invited for a PhD project "A Trusted Execution Environment based framework for securing legacy embedded systems". The full-time doctoral candidate will investigate existing Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) on COTS devices in Industrial control systems (ICS) and implement a framework which will allow the use of the COTS devices without any compromise on trust. In this case, the ICS operator will issue the applications for the COTS operator that will be able to communicate with the ICS devices using the required protocol and perform the necessary maintenance tasks. The project work will involve proposing novel architectural solution and/or novel operating system-based solution.

Closing date for applications:
