Helsinki System Security Lab (HSSL) Internship

Compiler Instrumentation with hardware assistance for Morphing

Dynamic code randomization and code morphing (churned randomization, encryption in memory) are effective mechanisms to thwart memory attacks in the AI era, where machine learning has proven to be very effective to find shortcomings (bugs) in deployed software, and 50-70% of all bugs in C/C++ code are still today memory safety issues.

In this work we will use new hardware architecture (instructions) to prototype solutions that by a combination of code randomization and encryption makes it harder for an attacker to pinpoint the location where to apply an exploit in deployed code in the field. Primarily this project relates to compiler instrumentation to leverage existing architecture and instructions in in-house hardware. The work may also encompass augmenting hardware emulators (such as QEMU) for testing the compiler instrumentation results with standard benchmarking tests.

If selected, the intern will be working with experienced security experts in the Helsinki System Security Laboratory, and plan, design and implement the work under their guidance. This work is conducted as a internship where the results are not necessarily public-facing (closed IP), i.e., without further negotiation the results of this research may be chosen to remain proprietary, and therefore is not immediately suitable e.g. as a M.Sc. topic or part of a PhD studies.

We are looking for:

  • A student who has completed most of their M.Sc. courses, in the field of CS/E.Eng, or a recent M.Sc graduate / PhD student
  • Compiler familiarity, e.g. through coursework or prior exposure to LLVM / GCC modifications
  • An understanding of low-level (system / OS) architecture, and hardware emulators is considered a plus
  • Sufficient skills to work and interact in English
  • Good team-working skills

The following we count as advantage:

  • Background (courses) in compiler technology, hardware architecture, platform security, cryptography or equivalent
  • An interest to do research and explore new challenges.

Location and internship period: This is a 6-month internship based at our Helsinki, Ruoholahti office.

The Helsinki Systems Security Laboratory in Huawei Finland (HSSL) drives renewal and mastery in the field of platform / device related security technologies for consumer devices such as mobile phones and PCs. Our topical expertise lies in hardware-assisted memory protection, trustworthy execution (processor isolation primitives, hypervisor, TEE, kernel hardening), as well as functionality like device key management, attestation and integrity. We are also making inroads in the areas of security testing and AI protection on terminal devices

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
