Research funding is increasingly tied up to the collaborative research funding launched by national or European initiative. Being active in such programs is a proof of dynamism for a research laboratory.
Current projects
LISE

Software quality and patterns of security frauds are directly related to legal liability patterns but, so far, software providers have succeeded in limiting their legal liability for their products. This national project addresses the software liability issues both from the legal and technical points of view with the aim of putting forward methods to define liability in a precise and legally sound way and to establish liability in case of an incident.
RAPIDE
 |
Stream ciphers are less popular than their block ciphers counterparts, due to the lack of real standards. However, they become essential as soon as we want to reach important flows for limited costs in software or hardware. The aim of this national project is to study, evaluate and construct new stream ciphers built upon a non linear transition function and to better evaluate the properties of the filtering function to discard known attacks, especially the algebraic ones.
BANET
 |
Providing a framework for Body Area Networks (BAN), defining a reliable communication protocol, optimizing BAN technologies and enhancing energy efficiency of network components are the major stakes of National Project BANET project, led by CEA-Leti. It aims at defining precise frameworks to design optimized and miniaturised wireless communication systems. These body area networks target a wide applications range, in the consumer electronics, medical and sport fields.
SOCLIB
 |
The SoCLib objective is to build an open platform for modelling and simulation of multiprocessors system on chip that can be used by both universities and industrial companies. The core of the platform is a library of simulation models for virtual components (IP cores).
ARESA
 |
ARESA was a national initiative led by Orange Lab. The project was focused on large scale wireless sensor networks distributed in a monitoring area. Low energy consumption mechanism was the key goal of this research. Event-driven and asynchronous protocols were proposed for self confi guration, self organization and data aggregation.
WASP
 |
WASP was a European Integrated Project inside the FP6 Work initiative with Philips as prime contractor. The goal of the project is to narrow the mismatch between academic research at Wireless Sensor Networks application level and node's hardware capacities. This is done by covering a whole system architecture from basic hardware, sensors, processor, communication, over the packaging of the nodes, the organisation of the nodes, towards the information distribution and a selection of applications.
iPLAN
The iPlan consortium is made of the Ranplan Company, the CITI Laboratory and the University of Berdfordshire and proposes the study of Indoor planning and optimisation models and tools. The aim is to develop fast and accurate radio propagation models, investigate various issues arising from the use of femtocells, develop an automatic indoor radio network planning and optimisation and facilitate knowledge integration and transfer between project partners, to enable cross-fertilization between radio propagation modelling, wireless communications, operations research, computing, and software engineering.
