PhD - Security at the network Edge

Barcelona Supercomputing Centre
Barcelona, Spain

Description

The Unconventional Computer Architectures and Networks group is looking for a student to collaborate within the European project "Security at the network Edge (SECURED)". The student will work in the development of architecture, involving hardware and software, which deals with computing at the edge of the network. During the last couple of years a disruptive endpoint devices started been deployed. These devices are sensors and actuators mainly; additionally new type of applications are or are trying to be push to the Cloud forcing new constrains two the well know computation paradigm. In the future more and more devices at the edge, M2M and control applications requiring distributed storage and computation will be deployed. The objective of this position is to do a PhD in this. The specific research topic will be decided based on candidate skills and objectives. Main Responsibilities:

Participate in the definition of the main architectural components for network edge device, security policies, network applications, repositories for applications/policies and system models
Architect, specify and evaluate a Network Edge Device
Create a Network Edge Device (NED) capable of hosting multiple personal execution environments
Develop a small low-cost hardware platform suitable for providing home network edge services.

Requirements

Ms. on Computer Science, Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
Storage and File management
Knowledge of Network and System security
