Low-power and Secure Cryptographic Circuits for Flexible Healthcare Patches

KU Leuven Faculty of Engineering Technology organises bachelor and master degrees in Engineering Technology on six campuses across Flanders, Belgium. This vacancy is situated in the research group Emerging technologies, Systems & Security at Campus Diepenbeek. ES&S is part of the COSIC (Computer Security and Industrial Cryptography) group.

Project

Integrated circuits based on flexible thin-film transistors have received lots of attention due to recent progress in literature and the pioneering aspect of multi-project wafers with thin-film transistor foundries. The targeted semiconductor is Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (IGZO) from the UK-based foundry Pragmatic. IGZO is attractive due to a simple process flow and potential small channel lengths on flexible substrates. This PhD topic is part of the LOGICARE project that concentrates on low-power and secure flexible healthcare patches. The project starts from the observation that established assumptions ...
