Investigate data-dependent impedance variations in integrated circuits' power distribution networks (PDN) as a novel side-channel attack vector for extracting secret information. This research internship offers a valuable opportunity to gain hands-on experience in hardware security, with a specific focus on RF measurements and cutting-edge side-channel analysis techniques.

• Security Research: Depending on the role, tasks may involve vulnerability analysis through methods like reverse engineering, fuzzing, or hardware attacks (e.g., fault injection or side-channel analysis). Interns will have the chance to engage in penetration testing and contribute to the security of critical components, including those found in mobile devices.
• Documentation: Writing technical documentation, setting up testing environments, and managing repositories for communication and issue tracking are common responsibilities

• You are enrolled as a Bachelor/Master/PhD student
• Excellent communication skills
• Team player spirit
• Commitment and a pro-active can-do attitude
• Eager to rapidly learn and adapt to new situations and concepts
• Creative thinkers who excel in developing innovative solutions to complex problems
