Interns Group, Interns Group > Interim InternGeneral Summary:
Brief:
The student will investigate HW/SW co-design techniques on CHERI-enabled RISC-V platforms, with the primary objective of developing practical prototypes to assess their suitability for RoT or secure-enclave requirements.
The prototype will enable the student to explore and demonstrate novel security concepts, potentially opening avenues for new secure IP development within the Qualcomm portfolio.
Background:
A world leader in smart mobile technologies, QUALCOMM (QCT) offers complete solutions that enable continuous innovation for today's smart connected devices. Our vast expertise in wireless technology, combined with our unique systems’ approach to developing solutions, puts QCT at the forefront of the rapidly expanding mobile industry. QCT offers solutions for CDMA, UMTS, GSM and LTE technologies, providing support for both 3G, 4G and now 5G networks and devices. Qualcomm also offers a broad portfolio of additional wired and wireless technologies for the mobile, networking, computing and consumer electronics product segments. All of our solutions and products are elegantly engineered for optimal performance and power consumption. Our system-on-chip solutions like Snapdragon bring together CPU, GPU, connectivity, security, multimedia and GPS technologies in a way that is redefining mobile possibilities for people everywhere. Because of its unsurpassed performance and capabilities, Snapdragon is enhancing mobile experience and fueling an ever-expanding array of new connected device categories, ranging from smartphones to tablets to e-readers and beyond.
Emerging ETSI work on memory-safety assurance provides a framework for investigating high-assurance security architectures. This internship will explore how CHERI capability-based security mechanisms can support memory safety, compartmentalization, and isolation of trusted services in future Root of Trust (RoT) and secure-enclave systems.
The work will combine architecture exploration, RTL and software development, compiler and linker considerations, and security evaluation.
Required qualifications:
- Pursuing MS/PhD or engineering program in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related fields.
