About

Jo Vliegen is a leading researcher in hardware security and trusted computing, with a particular focus on securing Internet of Things (IoT) devices. His work addresses the critical challenge of establishing trust in resource-constrained embedded systems, where traditional security measures often fall short. Vliegen’s most-cited paper, “Trusted Computing Architectures for IoT Devices” (2024, 3 citations), introduces novel hardware-based security architectures that enable robust attestation, secure boot, and isolated execution environments for low-power devices. This contribution is foundational for protecting IoT ecosystems against physical and remote attacks, bridging the gap between theoretical security models and practical, deployable solutions. Beyond this flagship work, Vliegen has made significant strides in developing lightweight cryptographic primitives and tamper-resistant hardware designs, often collaborating with industry partners to translate research into real-world applications. His impact is reflected in the growing adoption of his architectural principles in both academic prototypes and commercial IoT platforms. Vliegen’s achievements include serving as a principal investigator on several European-funded security projects and mentoring a new generation of hardware security researchers. For students and researchers, his work offers a clear roadmap for building trustworthy systems from the silicon up.
