Welcome to Hardware Security Lab!

The Hardware Security Lab at Korea University focuses on the security of computing platforms that run software. Our research emphasizes both securing software through hardware-based security primitives and protecting the hardware itself. Specific research topics include the following:

• Architectural support for verifiable computation

• Hardware Trojan detection and prevention

• Anti-tampering techniques to prevent reverse engineering

• Hardware acceleration of cryptographic algorithms

• Dedicating general-purpose devices

• Technical support for personal data control

We also conduct research on blockchain technologies, including the following areas:

• Secure and convenient blockchain wallet

• Validator operating platform

• Detection of abnormal transactions and money laundering

• Zero-knowledge proof acceleration
