Side-Channel Analysis Principles

In this module, you will get the principles of side-channel analysis and the background knowledge needed to perform your first analysis. You will also practice on basic examples then on real use cases to become familiar with these techniques.

Topic covered

Side-channel (leakage) origins
Leakage model(s) to consider on products?
How do I characterize the device leakage?
What methodology do I have to follow
How to select and define the selection function for the cryptographic operation I am targeting
How to combine with a statistical distinguisher?

Exercices

Perform DPA and correlation basic tests
Code your own DPA attack and your AES selection function
Run characterization tests
Attack real traces for different use cases

Requirements

Basic knowledge in cryptographic algorithms (AES, TDES) Basic knowledge in coding (Python) Basic knowledge in algebra
