System Security Convergence Lab

At SSCL, we focus on architecting the fundamental safety of autonomous machines. Our research bridges the gap between low-level hardware security and the high-level operational integrity of robots and vehicles. By leveraging hardware-assisted isolation and trusted execution environments (TEEs), we ensure that the control systems of modern mobility remain resilient against sophisticated cyber-physical threats.

Join Our Lab 🙂

We welcome motivated undergraduate and graduate students interested in the security of autonomous systems.

We are looking for dedicated undergraduate and graduate students who want to master system security, hardware-rooted trust, and the security of physical systems. If you are interested in joining the lab, please contact us via email.
