Attribute-Based Encryption for the Internet of Things
Attribute-Based Encryption for the Internet of Things
Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) is an advanced cryptographic paradigm that lets users enforce access control within encryption. Its potential uses are numberless, from cloud privacy to Internet-of-Things security. This thesis aims at developing and testing prototypes of ABE applications in the Internet of Things.
This can be either bachelor or master thesis. Please, contact pericle.perazzo@unipi.it if you are interested.
Post-Quantum Cryptography
Post-Quantum Cryptography
Quantum computers are close to break all the crypto algorithms we use everyday to protect our data! Luckily, there are some strange, bizarre crypto algorithms that resist also quantum attacks: they are called post-quantum cryptography. The aim of this thesis is to develop and test prototypes of post-quantum cryptography applications.
This can be either bachelor or master thesis. Please, contact pericle.perazzo@unipi.it if you are interested.
Software and Electronic Design of Automotive Control Units (ECUs) Combining Aspects of Security and Functional Safety
Software and Electronic Design of Automotive Control Units (ECUs) Combining Aspects of Security and Functional Safety
Connected cars present relevant and unprecedented challenges in terms of functional safety and cybersecurity. Functional safety and cybersecurity mechanisms for connected cars are driven by on-board Electronic Control Units’ embedded software. This thesis aims at implementing a safe and cyber-secure software solution by design and verifying it on real ECU provided by an Automotive producer.
This is a master thesis. Please, contact cinzia.bernardeschi@unipi.it if you are interested.
Blockchain Security and DApp Programming
Blockchain Security and DApp Programming
Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are revolutionizing the way we pay stuff and record notarial data. But are we really sure that blockchain is safe from attacks? The objective of this thesis is to develop and test blockchain applications or tools to attack them.
This is a master thesis. Please, contact pericle.perazzo@unipi.it if you are interested.
Web Hacking
Web Hacking
You think you are good at hacking (or, simply, you’d like to learn to)? The objective of this thesis is to perform a penetration test on existing web platforms, or to develop and test new hacking challenges.
This is a bachelor thesis. Please, contact pericle.perazzo@unipi.it if you are interested.
Homomorphic Encryption
Homomorphic Encryption
Homomorphic encryption is a "magic" type of encryption that allows mathematical computations to be performed on encrypted data. It has infinite applications in future privacy-preserving cloud and edge services. This thesis aims at developing and testing prototypes of homomorphic encryption applications.
