I am looking for students who are interested in HW implementations and have knowledge of an HDL language. You would be a suitable candidate if you are also interested in cryptography and its applications.

Possible implementation tasks are the
  - Extension/implementation of symmetric ciphers
  - Extension/implementation of message authentication codes
  - Extension/implementation of error correction codes/functionality

The implementation will be analyzed for its suitability for memory encryption and integrity verification of memory contents. This assessment will measure and evaluate typical performance metrics on an FPGA.

If any topics interest you, please email me to discuss the details and your interests. Your application will benefit if you attach your current grade report and CV.

We are offering a joint opportunity for motivated students to work on innovative topics in hardware-assisted security and confidential computing. The work involves extending and integrating security mechanisms in modern processor and memory architectures, with a focus on improving trust and protection for data during execution.

You will support the analysis and design of security features for next-generation computing platforms, contribute to the integration of a hardware security component into existing Confidential VM Extensions, and explore how trust and authenticity can be established remotely.

The position preferably starts as a working student (HiWi) role and continues in a Master’s thesis, with flexibility to tailor the scope and depth accordingly.

Prerequisites

We are offering a master's thesis topic for a motivated student to work in system security and confidential computing, co-supervised by Fraunhofer AISEC and TUM SEC. The project focuses on enhancing protection mechanisms for sensitive data in memory during execution. You will analyze existing hardware-based security technologies, design novel solutions to address their limitations, and implement a proof-of-concept prototype.

Your tasks:

• Investigate and compare current approaches for data-in-use protection
• Design an improved security solution to prevent sophisticated memory-based attacks
• Develop a prototype solution that integrates both software and HDL components
• Conduct experimental evaluations to assess the performance and efficacy of the design
