Hardware and wireless security research for trustworthy IoT and critical systems
Barkhausen Institut conducts applied security research on IoT, processor design, and wireless systems. The project list—remote attestation, trusted execution environments, secure processor architecture, ASIC tape-out—reflects a hardware-first security posture, backed by a stack heavy in Verilog, VHDL, and FPGA work. Hiring is research-dominated with a 51–200 person nonprofit structure, signaling deep technical depth over commercial scale.
Barkhausen Institut is a nonprofit research organization in Dresden, Germany, founded in 2017 and publicly co-financed by the Saxon State Parliament. The institute focuses on trustworthiness in networked electronic systems—particularly hardware security, verifiable computation, and IoT reliability. Its work spans secure processor design, wireless communication systems, remote attestation, and trusted execution environments, with applications to critical infrastructure, healthcare, and Industry 4.0. The organization collaborates with academic and industry partners to transition research into deployable solutions.
Primary languages: Python, Verilog, VHDL, C/C++, Rust. Infrastructure: FPGA design tools and Microsoft Office. No recent technology adoptions or migrations recorded.
Active projects include secure processor design, FPGA prototyping and ASIC tape-out, trusted execution environments, remote attestation solutions, and wireless signal processing for joint communication-and-sensing systems.
