Advancing Hardware Security: Mitigating Vulnerabilities and Securing Embedded Systems (2023)

My projects repositories on GitHub:
GitHub-1, GitHub-2, GitHub-3, GitHub-4, GitHub-5

My work in hardware security focuses on analyzing and mitigating vulnerabilities in cryptographic and embedded systems. I have designed and implemented secure systems, such as a streaming decryption engine, incorporating AES and DES encryption protocols, to test resilience against side-channel and fault-injection attacks. My projects include crafting scan chain attacks to reveal sensitive keys in hardware-implemented AES systems, demonstrating the risks posed by hardware testing mechanisms. Additionally, I developed real-world hardware Trojans, such as an I2C Trojan for data interception and manipulation, showcasing threats at the hardware-communication level. I also explored advanced security measures, including logic locking and SAT-based attacks, analyzing the efficacy of cryptographic key protection in circuit designs. By bridging theoretical cryptographic principles and practical implementation on microcontrollers, my work highlights innovative approaches to identifying and mitigating hardware vulnerabilities.
