Honeypot for IoT networks using Matter/Thread

Published in Master's Thesis, UCLouvain, 2025

The adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) is growing every year, transforming a wide variety of sectors, including healthcare, cars and smart homes. Smart homes are becoming popular, aiming to make our daily lives easier by performing simple or complex tasks such as closing the curtains at sunset or turning on the heating when a certain temperature is reached. However, this growing connectivity also introduces security challenges. As more devices become connected, new security breaches in home networks may arise. To counter this, research and testing are essential.

Dolia: an MPU-backed Framework for Secure Multitenancy on Embedded MCUs

Published in OSPERT'26 Workshop, part of ECRTS 2026, 2026

Modern microcontroller units (MCUs) are increasingly powerful, yet often dedicated to a single lightweight application that underutilises their capabilities. Sharing a device among multiple independent stakeholders improves utilisation, but requires strong isolation between tenants to prevent interference and unauthorized access. Additionally, the system must support post-deployment reconfigurability and preserve soft real-time guarantees. Existing solutions rely on virtualization through language-level sandboxing, which provides isolation and heterogeneity but introduces runtime overhead that is incompatible with the real-time constraints of resource-constrained devices.
