Project Members

Johann Großschädl

Johann Großschädl served as principal investigator and scientific leader of the ISEC project from 2004-2007. He designed and evaluated instruction set extensions for public-key cryptography, in particular elliptic curve cryptography. He is now working at the Department of Computer Science at University of Bristol.

Stefan Tillich

Stefan Tillich leads the activities for secret-key cryptography as has taken over the project lead from Johann in 2007. He is in charge of simulations with the new extensions as well as integration into LEON2-CIS and prototyping on the FPGA boards. Furthermore, he conducts research towards side-channel attack resistivity in the context of instruction set extensions.

Alexander Szekely

Alexander Szekely develops highly-optimized assembly libraries for finite field arithmetic and intgrates the custom instructions into the TSIM simulator for the LEON2-CIS.
