Project Overview

This project aims to establish cyber-secure autonomous control technology through a joint research collaboration between the University of Electro-Communications (UEC) and dSPACE JAPAN Co., Ltd. We focus on implementing encrypted control algorithms on FPGA, developing IP cores, conducting research and evaluation across various platforms, and advancing technologies toward practical applications.

We also regularly hold open study sessions targeted at corporate engineers, where we share the latest research findings and engage in in-depth discussions. We welcome collaboration and partnerships with companies interested in this technology, promoting technological advancement and practical implementation through industry-academia cooperation.

If you have inquiries about participating in study sessions, joint research, or technical consultations, please contact Prof. Kogiso at kogiso@uec.ac.jp. For further details, please refer to the dSPACE JAPAN website’s “Cybersecurity Initiatives—Encrypted Control” section (in Japanese).
