SESOC - Security for Embedded Systems on Chip
From 01-10-2005 to 30-09-2008
Description
The focus of this proposal is the efficient support of security in embedded devices. They have limited energy supply or are battery operated, run on small embedded processors and have a limited amount of storage. Both the communication between devices and the devices themselves need security protection.
We plan to integrate a security vision in a SoC (System-on-chip) integrated circuit design flow. This means that the different abstraction levels of the design need consideration.
- At the protocol level, we investigate the scalability, the energy and memory cost of key distribution protocols. This takes into account the computation versus communication trade-off (e.g. radio energy or bandwidth constraints).
- At the architecture level, energy efficient, expressed in cipher bits per Joule, and side-channel resistant co-processors for encryption algorithms will be developed.
- Security has a time, area and energy price. A systematic security partitioning, between secure & non-secure partitions of the SoC and the communication between them is needed.
- Information leakage through side-channels is a major issue. We propose to develop circuit styles and secure SoC design methods to translate high level descriptions into a secure implementation.
