Welcome to Secure-IC
— the trusted computing company —
Secure-IC Missions
Secure-IC provides a wide range of solutions to enhance and test the robustness of cryptoprocessors integrated in high-end embedded systems.
The Secure-IC team is a major actor in the protection of electronic circuits against side-channel or fault injection attacks.
The proposed competences are the fruit of scientific and industrial researches in trusted computing led
in the security laboratory of TELECOM ParisTech whose Secure-IC is a spin-off.
Secure-IC Products
- High performance cryptographic IPs robust against faults injection attacks (FIA) and side-channel attacks (SCA) for FPGAs or ASICs.
- Generic CAD tools for FIA and SCA resistant circuits.
- Evaluation of electronic circuit's robustness against FIA and SCA.
- Development of custom applications or circuits to secure embedded systems.
- Embedded systems securization Consulting.
Job Offers
Secure-IC is hiring five research developers:
- Cryptographic architect for FPGAs.
- Security evaluator on FPGA products.
- Researcher in formal proof.
- Smartcart project manager.
- Laboratory specialist in physical attacks.
