[T40] Software multi-tenancy on micro-controllers: enhancing security with TinyPART toolkit – Chrystel Gaber (Orange),  Gilles Grimaud (U Lille), Emmanuel Baccelli  (INRIA)

On Fri, Nov 29th, 2024, 2pm CET, we welcome Chrystel Gaber (Orange),  Gilles Grimaud (U Lille), Emmanuel Baccelli  (INRIA), for another edition of TALK.CYBERcni.fr on “Software multi-tenancy on micro-controllers: enhancing security with TinyPART toolkit”. Share and join!

As containerization arrives for microcontrollers, it brings with it critical new security challenges. This talk will dive into how the TinyPART toolkit, developed through a joint French-German research project, addresses key concerns like memory isolation, secure software updates, and resource access control in multi-tenant environments. Discover how TinyPART’s innovations help overcome the risks of transitioning from monolithic to multi-tenant software paradigms on microcontrollers.

Abstract

As containerization becomes available for microcontrollers, it is necessary for security models to evolve and address threats arising  from the transition from a monolithic software paradigm to a  multi-tenant one. Among the challenges that need to be overcome, this talk will in particular focus on memory isolation, secure software updates and ressource access control by describing the results of TinyPART (https://tinypart.github.io/TinyPART/), a German-French research  project on cybersecurity jointly sponsored by the German Ministry of  Education and Research and the French National Research Agency. In this talk, you will discover how the TinyPART toolkit can help you overcome this challenge by addressing issues related to memory isolation, software updates and resource access control.

Chrystel Gaber

Chrystel Gaber received her PhD in Computing Systems from the University of Caen in 2013. After working as a project coordinator and R&D engineer at Fime, she joined Orange as a researcher and project coordinator. She is involved in several projects related to cyber-physical security, IoT device management, and certification, and serves as the French coordinator for the TinyPART project.

Gilles Grimaud

Gilles Grimaud received an award from the French chapter of ACM SigOPS for his PhD thesis in 2001 and was appointed a full professor at the University of Lille in 2009. His primary research interests include embedded systems, cybersecurity, and formal methods, with notable achievements such as the development of Camille, a secure smart card operating system. He has contributed to numerous funded French and European projects and is currently a member of the TinyPART project.

Emmanuel Baccelli

Emmanuel Baccelli is a researcher at Inria and Freie Universität Berlin, having previously worked at AT&T Labs and Metro Optix Inc. He earned his PhD from École Polytechnique in 2006 and his habilitation from Université Pierre & Marie Curie in 2012. A co-founder of the RIOT open-source community, his main research interests involve the Internet of Things, low-power software, security, and the design and analysis of network protocols and algorithms.

About Orange

Orange is a leading global telecommunications operator, providing a wide  range of services including mobile and fixed-line communications,  internet, and digital solutions.

The Cyber CNI Lecture Series is a free monthly event that typically takes place on the last Friday of the month from 2pm to 3h30pm CET.

The Cyber CNI Speaker series aims to raise awareness and understanding of cyber security issues among all audiences. It aims to enable an ongoing dialogue between experts from industry and academia and the general public (citizens, families, small and large businesses, public organizations, etc.). All of us are concerned.

The events are broadcast live on Youtube (https://talk.cybercni.fr/) and LinkedIn, allowing worldwide remote participation – including a tool to participate in the discussion.

You can add the event calendar via ICS, webcal, HTML.

How the digital transformation is changing our lives

Our society relies more and more on information and operational technologies. Examples include water, energy, heat and cooling supply, communications, healthcare, production and processing of goods, transportation, national security, banking, research and education, and food production.

What all these areas have in common is that they make intensive use of networked distributed computer systems. These systems can be attacked in many ways. This is no longer just a problem for computer “pros” because computer systems are essential to all of us. The effects of “cyber-attacks” range from power outages to the collapse of the health care or banking sectors.
