Why do we conduct research?
Our vision :
Through regular investigation and monitoring, we attempt to anticipate future security threats that we believe will impact the IT systems of our clients in next two and five years.
When we have identified an emergent but significant threat, we study it using a variety of research methods and projects.
Our purpose is to anticipate potential malicious uses of these security vulnerabilities.
What our experience shows :
We conduct research projects on IT system security in order to enable us to effectively respond to current threats, particularly as regards the vulnerabilities of Web application.
In fact, we detected this threat category very early and have been working on it since 2001, while some of our competitors have only very recently begun to understand the dimensions of these threats.

What are our current in-progress projects ?
Although we share the results of our most recent research only with our clients, we are in a position to summarize general trends. We are primarily working on the vulnerabilities of electronic communications equipment (also called embedded system)
This type of equipment has become omnipresent in professional information systems as well as in everyday life and includes cellular telephones, access badges, passports, wireless smart cards, and Internet connection boxes.
An increasing number of these items include communications capabilities, such as alarms, credit cards, and clothing items.
Each of these items is eventually going to be connected to classic networks such as the Internet, UMTS, 3/4G, RFID, and NFC.
But what actual level of security do these tools provide?
Are they capable of resisting classic attacks?
Do they offer new opportunities to cyber-criminals?

Sample projects
- The security of embedded systems used by public or private drones
- The security of systems based on SOFTCORE and FPGA
- Smartphone security
