Internship at SGS Brightsight
Locations: Delft (The Netherlands), Barcelona (Spain) and Graz (Austria)
OUR INTERNSHIPS
SGS Brightsight has a range of assignments that can be performed by students from institutions such as the Haagse Hogeschool, Eindhoven University and TU Delft. Examples of previous assignments are
- Automation of evaluation tasks: develop a tool to be used in evaluations.
- Beyond-specification test equipment: develop a device such as a card reader that enables beyond-specification testing.
- Mobile phone data retrieval: develop a proof of concept (application) that can use internals to indirectly eavesdrop data entered.
- Payment terminal attacks: proof of concept of hardware or software attacks, as well as of the combination.
- Protocols: elaborate on publicly known protocols and assess the consequences for evaluation methods and tools.
- Smart cards attacks: improve assessment methods in different domains for data that is retrieved in our measurements
For an internship we feel that the best assignments are those that you like and want to dive into. Therefore we’d like to find a match between your wishes and our opportunities.
OUR WORK

We work with financial companies such as MasterCard and VISA, certification bodies of governments and – of course – the developers/suppliers/manufacturers of security products. We also support our customers in understanding the security standards and the evaluation process.
