Urien, Pascal.  2022.  Demonstrating Virtual IO For Internet Of Things Devices Secured By TLS Server In Secure Element. 2022 IEEE/ACM Seventh International Conference on Internet-of-Things Design and Implementation (IoTDI). :111—112.
This demonstration presents an internet of things device (thermostat), whose security is enforced by a secure element (smartcard) running TLS server, and using Virtual Input/Ouput technology. The board comprises a Wi-Fi system on chip (SoC), a micro-controller managing sensor (temperature probe) and actuator (relay), and a javacard. All device messages are sent/received over TLS, and processed by the secure element. Some of them are exported to micro-controller in clear form, which returns a response, sent over TLS by the smartcard.

Urien, Pascal.  2021.  Innovative Countermeasures to Defeat Cyber Attacks Against Blockchain Wallets. 2021 5th Cyber Security in Networking Conference (CSNet). :49–54.
Blockchain transactions are signed by private keys. Secure key storage and tamper resistant computing, are critical requirements for deployments of trusted infrastructure. In this paper we identify some threats against blockchain wallets, and we introduce a set of physical and logical countermeasures in order to defeat them. We introduce open software and hardware architectures based on secure elements, which enable detection of cloned device and corrupted software. These technologies are based on resistant computing (javacard), smartcard anti cloning, smartcard self content attestation, applicative firewall, bare metal architecture, remote attestation, dynamic PUF (Physical Unclonable Function), and programming token as root of trust.

Security is a critical issue for new car generation targeting intelligent transportation systems (ITS), involving autonomous and connected vehicles. In this work we designed a low cost CAN probe and defined analysis tools in order to build attack scenarios. We reuse some threats identified by a previous work. Future researches will address new security protocols.

Connected and automated vehicles aim to improve the comfort and the safety of the driver and passengers. To this end, car manufacturers continually improve actual standardized methods to ensure their customers safety, privacy, and vehicles security. However, these methods do not support fully autonomous vehicles, linkability and confusion threats. To address such gaps, we propose a systematic threat analysis and risk assessment framework, SARA, which comprises an improved threat model, a new attack method/asset map, the involvement of the attacker in the attack tree, and a new driving system observation metric. Finally, we demonstrate its feasibility in assessing risk with two use cases: Vehicle Tracking and Comfortable Emergency Brake Failure.
