Job Description
Missions
Modern software systems are built from intricate assemblies of components and libraries, with complex dependency graphs and opaque supply chains. This complexity creates opportunities for vulnerabilities and backdoor insertion, whether accidental or malicious.
The SECUBIC project aims to improve software supply-chain security by:
• Identifying and characterizing software components in binary artifacts,
• Detecting backdoors and other malicious manipulations,
• Understanding, modeling, and anticipating supply-chain attack scenarios,
• Exploring active defense strategies based on offensive reasoning.
Activity
The postdoctoral researcher will focus on binary-level analysis for software compliance and security, with a strong emphasis on:
• Static and dynamic analysis of binaries and software components,
• Backdoor and malicious modification detection,
• Reasoning about and prototyping offensive techniques to strengthen defense (red-teaming style),
• Contributing to tools and methodologies to secure software supply chains.
Your Profil
Skills
We are looking for a motivated and autonomous researcher with a strong background in software security and/or program analysis and/or ML.
