Research Hub 2: Secure Hardware Enviroments


Digital systems are deeply rooted in physical hardware. Research Hub 2 aims to advance hardware security by addressing persistent threats such as side-channel attacks and hardware Trojans while exploring new security opportunities enabled by emerging technologies, including 6G physical-layer security.

The hub focuses on high-assurance hardware design, trustworthy integrated circuits, and novel hardware-based security primitives. By combining provable security techniques with automated design tools, this research strengthens trust in hardware foundations that underpin modern digital systems.
