Outcomes

Apply advanced tooling and methods to secure your devices from side channel attacks

  • Brief introduction to SCA, signal processing, and correlational power analysis (CPA)
  • t-test for hot-spot finding and test vector leakage assessment (TVLA)
  • Template analysis, SPA- and DPA-type attacks
  • Implementing complex leakage models
  • Creating and using custom leakage models in the Keysight Inspector solution

Case study: Secure boot

  • Identify sensitive points in the secure boot process
  • Prerequisites for attacking each sensitive point
  • Break down the attack(s) into simple falsifiable tests

Case study: Characterization of a system-on-chip (SoC)

  • Simple tests to identify fault models
  • Hardware elements susceptible to faults: Where did the fault occur?
  • Software constructs susceptible to faults
  • Knowing the fault models: How can your implementation be improved?
