common_tools_lib's Introduction

Hi I'm Florian

I'm currently working on:

Different types of cryptographic FPGA implementations.
Classification algorithms for different kinds of Physical Unclonable Functions.
Implementing a library to access measurment devices like Oscilloscopes, SMU's or function generators and software to automate analog measurements

About Me

🎓 I'm currently working as a PhD student at the University of Passau in Germany.

🔑 My research interests are in the domain of IT-Security and Hardware security. Currently I'm focusing on the development of hardware trust anchors within different types of non-volatile memories. Especially FRAM (Ferroelectric Random Access Memory), MRAM (Magnetiresistive Random Access Memory) and ReRAM (Resistive Random Access Memory). I also investigate the internal characteristics of low-level digital and analog elements like memristors or carbon nanotube field-effect transistors. But I'm also interested in other domains of computer science and open source projects. My favorite programming language is C++.

Other Hobbies and Activities

🚴 During the summer month I like to go mountain biking in the vicinity of Passau.
🗻 I also like to go hiking in the mountains.
🎿 and skiing during the winter.
⛵ 📷 Traveling and combining my trips with landscape photography is also one of my favorite hobbies.
✈️ I'm owner of private pilot license and I'm member of the fire department of my home town.

common_tools_lib's Issues

Feature: Subdivide CMakelists in multiple files and functions

Problem:

Current CMake structure is hard to maintain due to a single file holding all the information

Solution:

Specifiy the module files to build (e.g. for the communication interface) in a seperated *.cmake build script
Move documentation generation in a dedicated function

Feature: Add option to statically link libgcc and libstdc++ to the library.

Feature: Add threading unit tests

Problem:
- The thread implementation getting more complex requiring sufficient testing
Solution:
- Implement ThreadTest suite using google test and test Threading.cpp and Threading.c implementations.

Bug: MinGW installation failed.

Feature: Add Windows installer

Problem:
- Improve the usability by providing a windows installer copying the libraries to the dedicated location
Solution:
- Add cpack NSIS installer to the cmake list

Feature: Return information about interface

Add function to display the local available interfaces
Add function to display the ip and netmask of an interface.

Feature: Add timing implementation to the library

Feature: Implement dynamic buffer for logging implementation

Get rid of static of static buffers in logging.c and replace them with dynamically adjustable buffers.

Bug: Solve SIGSEV in SocketUnitTest

Problem:
- When executing the socket unit tests either an PIL::Exception is thrown or a Segmentation fault occurs when calling the C++ receive callback function from C++

Feature: Add callback function for C++ socket implementation.

Bug:Segmentation fault in Log implementation.

After several iterations the program ends with sigsev in Logging.c

Feature: Add pybind interface for common_tools_lib

Wrap the C++ interfaces by Pybind making it available under python

Feature: Enable unit testing on all operating systems

Enable google test execution on all operating systems on github actions.

Feature: Add gtest as submodule

Avoid workaround of windows build script and manual copying of gtest on windows systems.
Make sure the same version of google test is used for each platform.

Feature: Replace raw c pointers with smart pointers

Problem:

Raw pointers can cause problems like dangling pointers or memory leaks

Solution:

Replace raw pointers with shared and unique ptrs.

Feature: Add debian installer

Feature:
- Add debian installer installing all libraries in /usr/lib, all headers in /usr/include and executables in /usr/bin

Bug: Fix logging and exception output on windows systems

Problem:
- Currently the output on windows systems is corrupted, e.g. #
```
P���d� INFO Device.cpp:97 
```
Solution
- Fix this error adjusting the logging and exception class on windows systems.
- Also try to introduce different colors on the command line similar on linux systems

Fix: Remove unnecessary free() in Socket

Remove free from socket file. This causes a segmentation fault when feeding a pointer not allocated on the heap into the function.

Feature: Add MAC OS installer

Problem:
- Make it easier for an user to install the library by a graphical installation program on MAC OS.
