Context

The team of security architects for the Crypto-library based in Toulouse is responsible of ensuring the right level of security in all secure products of NXP. We can find these products in most phones, IOT devices, cars, etc. These products are facing different security threats. Our team aims at protecting these devices against software and physical attacks (side-channel attacks and fault attacks). Depending on the product usage, a different protection is needed. It is our role to find the good balance between resistance and performance.

In this challenging context, we are looking for an apprentice over a period of 2 or 3 years.

Your missions

Missions will be diverse during the apprenticeship but the main component will be to implement functionalities for the Cryptolibrary (C, Risc V, arm). Based on the apprentice profiles, we might focus on one (or more) of the following topics:

Hardening of the implementation Cost of security (evaluation of impact on performances + code size) Language comparison (Rust vs C) for security Code optimization

Your profile

Eager to work with embedded devices and security topics, you want to take part in the mission of making the world safer and more secure. You have interest in challenges that aim at finding vulnerabilities in order to fix them and prevent malicious use of them. You like cryptography and want to learn about post-quantum cryptography or edDSA.

You speak good English and want to work in an international team with different cultures. You communicate well and know how to get out of your comfort zone to find interesting ideas.
