"The major goal of Patrick Schaumont’s CAREER project is to develop a methodology to create secure embedded system designs to protect information in cell phones, RFIDs and other portable systems, and protect copyrighted materials, such as songs and movies in portable players, and intellectual properties, such as embedded software.
“An increasing amount of personal and private information is stored in electronic form on portable computers,” said Schaumont. “This ranges from the access codes used by the electronic key fob that unlocks your car to the high-resolution photograph of your signature encoded on your electronic passport.”"
