Project Overview
I’m developing a hardware-rooted security system that significantly reduces attack surface in cyber-physical systems by eliminating dependence on stored digital secrets and human-mediated authentication.
The work is IP-driven, focused on architecture, modeling, and proof-of-concept prototyping.
This is not a consumer app or web project.
I’m seeking experienced engineers to help develop:
Technical system documentation
System modeling / simulation
A lab-grade proof-of-concept prototype
This is a tightly scoped engagement with clear deliverables.
Scope of Work
1️⃣ System Architecture & Technical Documentation
Define a hardware-rooted authentication model
Identify and minimize attack surfaces (physical, human, digital)
Design challenge-response and enrollment workflows
Document threat models and failure modes
Produce professional technical documentation suitable for patenting and licensing discussions
Deliverable:
Architecture & security documentation (diagrams + written spec)
2️⃣ System Modeling / Simulation
Model entropy-based hardware identity behavior
Simulate authentication flows and attack resistance
Demonstrate non-replayability and non-emulatability
Provide clear explanation of assumptions and limits
Deliverable:
Simulation model (MATLAB / Simulink or equivalent) + explanation
3️⃣ Proof-of-Concept Prototype (Non-Production)
Implement a minimal hardware-rooted identity demo
MCU or dev board acceptable
No manufacturing or automotive qualification required
Focus on demonstrating security properties, not polish
Deliverable:
Working lab-grade demo + README
Required Experience
You should have real experience in at least one of:
Embedded systems & firmware
Hardware security / cryptography
Secure authentication architectures
Cyber-physical systems
MATLAB / Simulink modeling
Senior-level experience strongly preferred.
Engagement Details
Duration: 6–12 weeks
Engagement: Contract / milestone-based
