The industrial doctorate at Infineon: Pursue a doctoral degree at a university and gain professional experience simultaneously – an ideal start for your career. Advance your research with us and profit from our vast network of doctoral candidates and the expertise of a university. Mentorship is handled by both professors and dedicated Infineon employees. We are presenting a doctoral thesis focused on the utilization of AI technologies to enhance software security in embedded devices. This work encompasses three interconnected research areas. The initial field of research involves leveraging AI technologies (e.g. Large Language Models – LLMs) to enhance fuzzing on embedded devices, which includes guiding a fuzzer through the binary code of an embedded device and automated root cause analysis for low-level crashes during the fuzzing process. Subsequently, we explore using AI technologies to identify insecure code within an existing code base on the basis of metadata and code statistics, followed by the development of automated exploitation techniques for logical attacks. A crucial aspect of this endeavor is the close collaboration with the software security group to ensure that each aspect is thoroughly investigated. Furthermore, some of the selected research topics will be implemented as proof of concepts to validate the formulated thesis and assess its practical usage in real-world environments. The thesis will be written in cooperation with TUM Munich and under the supervision of Professor Alexander Pretschner.
