GUY GOGNIAT
Professor of ECE at the Université Bretagne Sud, Lorient, France
BIOGRAPHY
Guy Gogniat is Professor of ECE at the Université Bretagne Sud, Lorient, France, where he has been since 1998. In 2005, he spent a year as an invited researcher at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA, working on the security of embedded systems using reconfigurable technologies. His work focuses on design methodologies and tools for embedded systems. He has conducted research in the area of reconfigurable and adaptive computing. He has been developing research in the area of embedded system security for 20 years. He is currently Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Science and the scientific and pedagogical director of the CYBERUS Erasmus Mundus programme in Cybersecurity.
ABSTRACT
In this talk we will discuss some contributions to the security of processor-based systems in the context of embedded devices. In particular, we will present some work dealing with protection mechanisms against software and hardware attacks. In this context, fault attacks are considered and several countermeasures are proposed. These attacks can target the processor and the communication architecture. We will also discuss a solution to ensure constant-time computation and how the cache architecture can be extended to ensure constant-time properties. This approach exploits the software-hardware interface by extending ISA RISC-V to lock and unlock some sensitive data in the cache.
