The Security Research Group focus will range from innovations in smart cards, identity documents and computer security, to methods for securing connected devices used in smart homes, Industry 4.0, smart cities and autonomous transportation.
One focus of the initiative will target large, city-scale IoT ecosystems that have heterogeneous, long-lived devices mixed with new infrastructure.
Additionally, prototypes will be tested in a living lab that is reflective of system-wide and cross-layer challenges and industry vetted for realism.
The work with CyLab is one of several Infineon collaborations in strategic research initiatives with US partners.
Others include projects with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) and North Carolina State University’s PowerAmerica Institute.
