In the Embedded Security Lab, we focus on all aspects of the security of embedded devices. Today, computer systems control not just cars and trains, but also smart homes or whole cities. The right implementation of cryptographic algorithms is critical in order to ensure the security of these autonomous systems; in IoT also with the additional requirements on small size and low consumption.

More about us

The education equipment in the Embedded Security Lab is financed from faculty resources. Teaching is co-financed by the project “Projekt ČVUT ESF II.” of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports from the Operational Programme Research, Development and Education, within the sub-activity “Introduction of practical teaching of selected types of cryptanalytic attacks”.

What we do

We deal with the security of the Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems and embedded systems. Our research topics include:

Design of cryptographic hardware, primarily in field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA).
Cryptanalysis, i.e. attacks
- Using programmable hardware (FPGA), or
- Using side channels, and
- Efficient protection against such attacks.
Protection of embedded systems with microprocessors (the Internet of Things, SmartCards, etc.).
Dependability of cryptographic systems.
