vor 3 Wochen


Munich, Deutschland Infineon Technologies Vollzeit

The tasks within the thesis will consist of:

  • Usage of LLMs to improve fuzzing on embedded devices
    • Guide a fuzzer through the code
    • Automatic root cause analysis of low level crashes
    • Generate harnesses for fuzzing
    • Assess the quality of a fuzzing campaign
  • Usage of LLMs to detect insecure code (e.g. by analysis of metadata of commits and repositories)
  • Usage of LLMs to implement logical attacks (AEG – automated exploit generation)
The learnings out of the thesis will be/lead to:
  • Deep understanding of the use of LLMs in the context of fuzzing tools and improvement use of such tools in the embedded software environment. Realize on selected topics proof of concepts to use the knowledge in real life environment for practical use.
  • Detection of unsafe code by analyzing the code and the associated metadata. Exemplary application and verification of the findings in an internal or open source environment.
  • Theoretical considerations on the automatic generation of exploits using LLMs and statistical analyzes. Practical implementation and verification of the developed solution
A doctoral student is a research enthusiast,
› …whose interests are scientific research combined with the passion for Infineon’s innovative products and applications.
› …who enjoys working in an industrial environment in combination with an Infineon partner university.
› …who appreciates open communication and the contribution of an international environment.
