The SECCOM project will investigate the art of architectural possibility, a model for security reasoning, and approach to dynamic verification of computer system constructed utilizing composable fabrics such as PCIe and Compute Express Link (CXL). This multi-faceted project is looking to hire a Research Associate or Research Fellow to work with the PI/CoIs on this exciting new area of research.
Applications are welcome for a Post-doc to work on the development for a model of security reasoning based on the theory and practice of composition frameworks through cryptographic protocols and hardware. The position is funded as part of the UKRI/EPSRC project "SECCOM: Securing composable Hardware Platforms" with funding from MoD/Dstl. Offers for the position will therefore be conditional on passing an identity check with Dstl.
You will be hosted by Bernardo Magri at the Systems and Software Security group within the Computer Science Department at The University of Manchester, located in the Northwest of England (https://www.cs.manchester.ac.uk/research/expertise/systems-and-software-security/).
You will ideally have a PhD degree in Computer Science or related areas, and a proven record of publications in cryptography and/or security venues such as Crypto, Eurocrypt, Asiacrypt, TCC, PKC, CCS, S&P, USENIX, ACNS, ESORICS, etc. Experience with cryptographic protocol composition frameworks (such as the UC framework) is a plus, but not required.
