SmartCards are widely used in financial business, telecommunication, computer security, identification and many others. Can you imagine how important and difficult it is to assure that software running on a SmartCard is secure and won’t let any of the data get corrupted? Thousands of hackers try to come up with new side-channel attack techniques every day. In this project, you have the opportunity to challenge them and verify tamper resistant software (functional and non-functional tests), anticipate new security attacks before they become known in public and test appropriate countermeasures for them.
