DPA Contest is an international framework which allows researchers to compare their
attacks under a common setting. The latest version of DPA Contest proposes a software …

Cryptography is an indispensable tool used to protect information in computing systems.
Billions of people all over the world use it in their daily lives without even noticing there is …

Side-channel analysis attacks target cryptographic implementations passively. The attacks
exploit the possibility of the attacker observing the physical characteristics of a device that is …

When it comes to side-channel countermeasures, software encoding schemes are
becoming popular and provide a good level of security for general-purpose microcontrollers …

Cryptographic implementations are often vulnerable against physical attacks, fault injection
analysis being among the most popular techniques. On par with development of attacks, the …

While in the early 2000's lots of research was focused on Differential Power Analysis of first
and second-order, it seems the recent trend is of even higher-order. As this order grows …

The versatility and cost of embedded systems have made it ubiquitous. Such wide-
application exposes an embedded system to a variety of physical threats like side-channel …

This paper presents high-throughput assembly implementations of PRESENT, PRINCE and
KATAN64 ciphers for the ATtiny family of AVR microcontrollers. We report new throughput …

Recently, several software encoding countermeasures were proposed, utilizing the side-
channel hiding concept for software implementations. While these schemes aim to protect …

Among other threats, secure components are subjected to physical attacks whose aim is to
recover the secret information they store. Most of the work carried out to protect these …
