Master thesis (undergrad) supervision
- Together with Nele Mentens I supervised Roald Goossens at the Katholieke Hogeschool Limburg, July 2008 - June 2009. He worked on remote and secure configuration of FPGAs.
- Together with Elke De Mulder I supervised Michaël Sterckx (K.U. Leuven), September 2008 - June 2009. Michael implemented the Direct Anonymous Attestation protocol on JavaCard platforms and analyzed the security of his implementation with respect to side channel attacks.
- Together with Elke De Mulder I supervised
Jan-Pieter Jacobs (K.U. Leuven), September 2008 - June 2009. Jan-Pieter implemented a bidirectional ISO 7816 interface that allows more flexible control of ISO 7816 compliant devices, e.g. smart cards.
- Together with Elke De Mulder I supervised Klaas De Craemer (K.U. Leuven), September 2008 - June 2009. Klaas investigated ways to measure the instantaneous power consumption of smart cards and the electrical properties of measurement setups.
- Together with Elke De Mulder I supervised Shiqi Li and Hongxu Zhao (K.U. Leuven), September 2008 - June 2009. Shiqi and Hongxu implemented an interface for the eSCARGOT chip (glue logic) and performed Differential Power Analysis attacks on a hardware implementation of the stream cipher Mickey.
- Together with Carmela Troncoso I supervised Mariano Monteverde (an Erasmus from Escola Politecnica Superior de Castelldefels (EPSC), Spain), February 2008 - September 2008. Mariano worked on a software implementation of NTRU for smartcards.
- Together with Nele Mentens I supervised Frederik Gommé at the Katholieke Hogeschool Limburg, July 2007 - June 2008. He worked on partial dynamic reconfiguration of FPGAs.
