Research area · SDU Microelectronics
The chip for space and security group develops integrated circuits that combine hardware security, physical resilience, and environmental robustness for spaceborne and other mission-critical systems.
Research focus
Our goal is silicon-secure, silicon-reliable electronics that preserve data integrity, confidentiality, and operational stability under extreme conditions. We pursue this through three layers.
Cryptographic layer
TRNGs and PUFs for secure key generation, device authentication, and protection against counterfeiting.
Physical-resilience layer
Protects the cryptographic layer and other sensitive circuits from EMI injection, side-channel leakage, and tampering or probing.
Environmental-robustness layer
Ensures reliable function under radiation, temperature extremes, and aging through radiation-hardened, temperature-compensated, fault-tolerant ICs.
Subsystems
All subsystems are designed to maintain both security and performance over long-term missions.
Bridging security and reliability
By combining these layers, the group bridges hardware security with IC reliability to deliver trustworthy electronics for space, defense, and high-security applications.
