Project topics

I'm also open to topic suggestions related to the security analysis of real-world security systems and (efficient, small) implementation of crypto, please talk to me (after supervisor allocation) if you've something in mind. In addition to the topics in the list below, I might also have additional topic ideas which usually come up after discussing your preferences and ideas in person. So the below list is only a starting point.

Posssible project topic areas

• Development and analysis of capability architectures and software using capabilities (in particular CHERI).
• Security analysis of Trusted Execution Environments and enclaves (e.g. Intel SGX, Trustzone, Keystone)
• Attacking embedded bootloaders (e.g. ARM processors)
• Side-channel and fault attacks
• Android and iOS security
• Extension of the ChameleonMini open source project (e.g. Legic Prime, Felica)

Let me know if there are any questions. Finally, note that these are project ideas that can be adapted (to a certain degree) to your skills and to what you want to learn (after supervisor allocation) .
