Research
I work in the Hardware Security field on attack technologies and tamper-resistant processors. My Hardware Security Research is aimed at finding vulnerabilities, hidden functions and backdoors in silicon chips. Many new attack methods and techniques were developed by me in the past decade. Some of them were previously thought to be impossible.
