Introduction
Modern electronic devices may leak sensitive credentials like passwords, encryption keys etc unintentionally through various channels like timing information, power consumption, electromagnetic emanation etc. leading to vulnerabilities better known as side-channel attacks. A deep understanding of these vulnerabilities will lead to an eco-system of well-thought secure systems.
In this course, we take a deep dive into side-channel attacks. We will learn the about side-channel attacks on modern cryptography, its various types, modus operandi, protection mechanisms, certifications and alternate applications. All key concepts will be complemented with extensive hands-on exercises for an advanced understanding of the topic.
The Graduate Certificate in Hardware Security Evaluation and Certification is done in collaboration the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore to train and upskill professionals in the industry as well as for professionals who are keen to join this exciting industry.
This course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Hardware Security Evaluation and Certification
By the end of this course, learner would be able to:
1. Various SCA evaluation techniques and SCA countermeasures;
2. Practical hands-on experiences on various popular SCA methods (DPA and CPA) and;
3. Through the use of the Side-Channel Attack Toolkit from Async2Secure Pte Ltd, to gain in-sight understanding how to qualify or quantify SCA based on various parameters including the setup parameters (in software and hardware), design parameters (various implementations), attacking models, and attacking techniques.
Basic side-channel-attack (SCA) knowledge
SCA Types
Countermeasures – hiding and masking
Advanced SCA techniques
Activity & Assessment
a. Hands-on for SCA & Simulations
b. Lab on SCA Hardware/Software Setup Preparation
c. Lab on Differential Power Analysis (DPA)
d. Lab on Correlation Power Analysis (CPA)
e. Lab on Effects on Hardware Implementations for SCA
f. Lab on SCA analysis Interpretation
