SSD: Smart Secure Devices
Research themes
The objective is to strengthen research in security of small devices that include smart cards, TPM (Trusted Platform Module), electronic labels or personal digital assistant in both aspects of logical and physical security. We are interested in the analysis of existing object, development of tools and methodologies to evaluate and reinforce the security of information systems.
Currently we have three research directions:
- System security, the objective is to propose effective counter-measures against attacks on secure objects and to propose methods for evaluating the safety of these components (members : Julien IGUCHI-CARTIGNY, Jean-Louis LANET, Agnès NOUBISSI, Ahmadou SERE, Amaury GAUTHIER)
- Hardware attack, improving attacks on secure objects either by passive listening (SPA/DPA) or using perturbation by laser or by electromagnetism (See project SALS) for objects with or without contact (NFC), (members : Christophe CLAVIER, Pierre DUSART, Damien SAUVERON) and
- Network security, this theme aims to propose solutions for management of dynamic security and identification in dynamic network without centralized infrastructure (members : Pierre François BONNEFOI).
We have two founded projects:
