Resumé: This PhD position is in the context of the Horizon Europe project OpenSwarm, a 40-month research and innovation project coordinated by INRIA Paris and funded by the European Commission. The project aims at developing novel systems of collaborative smart nodes able to interpret the data they generate, and to collaborate in a decentralized manner to communicate efficiently, even in the context of mobility. The research question this PhD position aims at answering is: "In a swarm of 1,000 nodes, how can we guarantee that each node can be trusted? ". Remote attestation procedures determine whether parties involved in communication can establish a level of trustworthiness. The objective is to design, implement and validate techniques for remote attestation, that are scalable to large Internet-of-Things swarms. The open challenge is to make the existing techniques scalable, yet practical and secure for Internet-of-Things swarms considered in the scope of the OpenSwarm project.
