The RD2P (Recherche et Développement Dossier Portable), created in 1989 by Professor Vincent Cordonnier and directed today by Professor David Simplot-Ryl, historically works on mobile computing, initially on smartcards. The research activity has been widened to POPS (Portable Objects Proved to be Safe) like smartcards, RFID tags, communicating sensors,... In 2004, the common project-team POPS (CNRS/INRIA/Univ. Lille 1) has been created on System and Networking for Portable Objects Proved to be Safe. In 2007, we have started a research action MISC (Mobile Internet and Secure Communications) which is dedicated to problems arising from networking domain with a strong orientation to architecture and protocol development.

Keywords: Embedded operating systems, smartcards, RFID tags, wireless networks, mobile ad hoc networks, sensor and actuator networks, mobility, POPS, networking protocols and architecture, IP mobility management (IPv6), security.

Research activities

POPS project-team

INRIAThe POPS project-team investigates solutions to enhance programmability, adaptability and reachability of small objects designated by POPS (Portable Objects Proved to be Safe). The POPS set contains small devices like smart cards, RFID tags or personal digital assistant which are characterized by limited resources, high mobility and high security level in spite of untrusted environment. The development of applications integrating POPS suffers from lack of "reachability" of such platform. Indeed, most of POPS are not easy to program and high level of expertise is needed to produce software in such limited operating systems and devices. Moreover, POPS mobility induces sudden and frequent disconnection, long roundtrip times, high bit error rates and small bandwidth. Hence, POPS system has to adapt itself to application requirements or modification of its environment. In that context, we are conducting research in the connected areas of embedded systems and mobile networking.

MISC research action

The research of MISC (Mobile Internet & Secure Communications) group embraces challenging issues arising from computer and communication networks, with emphasis on architectures and protocols for quality of service and security in IP based networks, wireless networks, multihop networks, and overlay networks. Its main focus is on the design of efficient protocols, algorithms, models and architectures to achieve secure communications, robustness, and high-quality performance of future multimedia networks using advanced wireless and IP (IPv6 in particular) technologies.
