[HGI-News-de] HGI-Kolloquium am 04.07.2014: "Flexible Open-source Setup for Side-channel Investigation and anaLysis, (FOSSIL)"

[Newsletter des Horst Görtz Instituts]

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

im Rahmen des HGI-Kolloquiums, organisiert von der Arbeitsgruppe
Sichere Hardware und dem Horst-Görtz-Institut der Ruhr-Universität
Bochum, wird Jens-Pe­ter Kaps von der Ge­or­ge Mason Uni­ver­si­ty am
nächsten Freitag, den 04. Juli 2014 um 11 Uhr s.t. in *Raum* *IC 03/112* 
über folgendes Thema referieren:

"Flexible Open-source Setup for Side-channel Investigation and anaLysis
(FOSSIL)": Side-channel analysis attacks pose a growing threat to
implementations of cryptographic algorithms implemented in software as
well as in hardware. Current standard side-channel evaluation boards
with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), that allow for exploring
the vulnerability of cryptographic implementations on FPGAs, are
expensive and available only for a few FPGA devices. Furthermore, a
complete open source software package that includes drivers that run
test cases on the board, control the measurement equipment, and contain
several side-channel analysis techniques is not readily available.
Each user has to assemble their own setup based on software packages
from multiple sources, written in multiple languages and write parts
themselves. This complexity and cost makes it also very difficult, if
not impossible, to educate students on side-channel analysis through
hands-on laboratory exercises. We introduced an open-source side-channel
analysis system for FPGAs, at the work in progress session of COSADE
2012 and Cryptarchi 2013 which features support for multiple FPGA
devices and includes all necessary software to run differential power
analysis attacks, which are the most prominent kind of side-channel
attacks. The components are build in a modular fashion so that it can
easily be adapted for new FPGA boards, oscilloscopes,
and attack techniques. It was met with a lot of interest from
universities and research groups. Since then we have improved multiple
parts of the system including a complete rewrite of the analysis
software in Python and support for clock generation. Furthermore, it
integrates with the low cost OpenADC board to form a complete low-cost
SCA solution for less than $200, which will be ideal for educational
use. At the end of this month FOSSIL will be released.

Zu diesem und sämtlichen weiteren Vorträgen des HGI-Kolloquiums
sind alle Studenten und Interessierten herzlich eingeladen!
Eine Voranmeldung ist nicht erforderlich!
