On May 20 and 21, our Provence campus hosted the 10th edition of the PHISIC international symposium, a must-attend event for hardware cybersecurity experts. Organised by the School’s SAS team (Secure Systems and Architectures), the event brought together 190 researchers, industry representatives and international specialists to share their latest advances in embedded systems security.

🎯 Objective: bringing research and industry closer together

PHISIC is part of an essential momentum: anticipating tomorrow’s threats by strengthening links between academic laboratories and companies.
Two intensive days punctuated by inspiring keynotes, technical talks and research presentations on strategic topics:

  • side-channel attacks,
  • post-quantum cryptography,
  • security of RISC-V architectures,
  • reverse engineering techniques…

🎓 High school students immersed in the heart of hardware security

The day before the symposium, our Provence campus opened its doors to around one hundred high school students, invited to discover the challenges of cybersecurity through educational workshops.
These workshops were led by the teams from the SAS department and the ID-Fab platform, who were able to share their passion for a field at the crossroads of electronics, computer science and security.
