More precisely, the following contributions are expected:
- designing a CFI-based technique for remote attestation;
- implementing this technique as a new \framac plug-in
- evaluating the implemented technique on concrete examples
- design one or several new intermediate representations that would make these
developments easier
- (optionally:) designing and implementing optimization strategies to reduce the
time overhead.

The main goal of this position is to improve [E-ACSL](https://www.frama-c.com/fc-plugins/e-acsl.html). However [E-ACSL](https://www.frama-c.com/fc-plugins/e-acsl.html) can still be
improved in many ways in order to extend its expressivity and to reduce its
memory and time overheads. To reach this goal, (s)he shall make several
contributions, for example regarding some of the following objectives:
- improving the current compilation scheme to reduce the memory footprint of the
generated code;
- designing new compilation techniques and/or adapt existing ones in order to
optimize the efficiency of the generated code;
- designing novel dedicated fast static analyses to minimize the generated code;
- designing one or several new intermediate representations that would make
these developments easier
- evaluating the benefits of these improvements on concrete benchmarks and/or
use cases.
