Description

  • Speaker

    Roberto Avanzi - Universität Essen

Power Analysis (and, more generally, Leaked-Emission Analysis) is a technique for guessing the flow of cryptographic algorithms implemented on embedded devices, in particular smart cards. If a single input is used, the process is referred to as a Simple Power Analysis (SPA), and if several different inputs are used together with statistical tools, it is called Differential Power Analysis (DPA). Other attacks include Fault Analysis and Goubin's recent approach.<br/> We review these attacks and some of the contermeasures operating at the algorithmic level devised to thwart them.

    The threat of quantum computers motivates the introduction of new hard problems for cryptography.One promising candidate is the Isogeny problem: given two elliptic curves, compute a “nice’’ map between them, called an isogeny.In this talk, we study classical attacks on this problem, specialised to supersingular elliptic curves, on which the security of current isogeny-based cryptography relies.
