Dr Chongyan Gu

School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

All cryptographic algorithm based security primitives and protocols depend on hardware implementation to achieve the expected protections even though cost billions of dollars on software-only malware detection, virus scanners, firewalls and much more. The recent Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities on processors demonstrated a good example of hardware based attacks. The hardware security threats have spread every corner of the semiconductor supply chain. Moreover, Cisco reported that there would be 500 billion connected devices by 2030, which means the Internet of Things (IoT) will revolutionise our lives. However, the vulnerabilities of IoT devices also bring challenges to our lives. Her research is to bring trust to lightweight IoT devices with cutting-edge hardware security technologies.

Public outreach & key achievements

Her research into physical unclonable functions (PUFs) has been utilised as part of a security architecture for electronic vehicle (EV) charging systems, licensed by LG-CNS, South Korea, and was also licensed for evaluation by a UK defence company. Her team was the overall winner of INVENT 2015, a competition to accelerate the commercialisation of innovative ideas. She has significant international research collaboration experiences, e.g. EU FP7 Sparks project with Fraunhofer, Germany and KeyHAS project with ETRI, South Korea.
