I am recommending Arthur Grisel-Davy for the Cybersecurity and Privacy Excellence Graduate Scholarships.
|
|
|
|
I supervised Arthur first in 2019 when he was a visiting student discovering the world of research, and then again in 2021 during his doctoral studies.
|
|
Building on all the previous projects he was involved in, he decided to dedicate his studies to the use of side-channel information for intrusion detection. He is now a third-year Ph.D. candidate.
|
|
|
|
The first project Arthur took part in explored the potential of side-channel analysis for defensive applications on embedded systems.
|
|
This work led to the publication of a paper in @eet1.
|
|
The results from this first project highlighted several axis for future work on bootup verification, runtime analysis and log verification.
|
|
Arthur dedicated his Ph.D. to this topic and eventually explored all these branches of phycis-based defense.
|
|
|
|
After the exploration phase, Arthur worked on bootup verification.
|
|
He proposed an approach for the problem of assessing the integrity of a machine using only a few known-good examples of bootup traces.
|
|
This approach led to two publications: first a work-in-progress paper in @wip-bpv and then an aticle presented in @bpv that present the approach in more details and use-cases.
|
|
For each of these articles, Arthur was the main author and had to write all the publications, integrate reviewers comments, and travel to the conferences to present his work.
|
|
These were his first experiences with the presentation of research work.
|
|
|
|
The second axis of research that Arthur explored was the runtime verification of embedded systems.
|
|
Arthur developed a few-shot pattern recognition algorithm for univariate time series to bridge the gap between raw side-channel information and rule-based intrusion detection systems.
|
|
His work was published at @mad and received the best paper award for this edition.
|
|
|
|
Arthur's current project aims to verify the logs emitted by a machine using power consumption, providing more trust to the log for later evaluation.
|
|
|
|
Along with his studies, Arthur also undertook the advisor role for younger students.
|
|
He shares his experience of conducting experiments and writing articles with a few students each term.
|
|
This role led to multiple collaborations on topics like the study of power consumption patterns from battery-powered devices or pattern mining algorithms.
|
|
Collaborations naturally arise with other students, for example, on the topic of trust management.
|
|
|
|
Arthur also took the opportunity of his Ph.D. studies to learn new topics for personal research projects.
|
|
He proposed to learn PCB design to build a new power trace capture system for USB-C charging cables.
|
|
He also reached out to other labs in the university to explore his idea of using power cables as bi-directional covert channels.
|
|
Outside of the university, Arthur often collaborates with the Palitronica Inc. startup on designing detection algorithms or evaluating applications in the domain of side-channel defense.
|
|
|
|
Arthur has consistently demonstrated dedication, creativity, and scholarly achievement throughout his studies in our research group.
|
|
His commitment to advancing the field of cybersecurity and privacy is evident in his motivation, ideas, accomplishments, and publications in reputable conferences.
|
|
|
|
Arthur is a person of integrity, professionalism, and a collaborative spirit, making him a valuable member of our academic community.
|
|
|
|
Arthur Grisel-Davy would be a deserving recipient of this scholarship.
