    Nicolas Belleville

This presentation will present an approach and a tool that answer the need for effective, generic, and easily applicable protections against side-channel attacks. The protection mechanism is based on code polymorphism, so that the observable behaviour of the protected component is variable and unpredictable to the attacker. Our approach combines lightweight specialized runtime code generation with the optimization capabilities of static compilation. It is extensively configurable. Experimental results show that programs secured by our approach present strong security levels and meet the performance requirements of constrained systems.

    The growth of embedded systems takes advantage of architectural advances from modern processors to increase performance while maintaining a low power consumption. Among these advances is the introduction of cache memory into embedded systems. These memories speed up the memory accesses by temporarily storing data close to the execution core. Furthermore, data from different applications share the[…]

    Side-Channel Based Disassembly (SCBD) is a category of Side-Channel Analysis (SCA) that aims at recovering information on the code executed by a processor through the observation of physical side-channels such as power consumption or electromagnetic radiations. While traditional SCA often targets cryptographic keys, SCBD focuses on retrieving assembly code that can hardly be extracted via other[…]

    Speaker : Pierre Ayoub - LAAS-CNRS

    In recent years, the limits of electromagnetic side-channel attacks have been significantly expanded.However, while there is a growing literature on increasing attack distance or performance, the discovery of new phenomenons about compromising electromagnetic emanations remains limited. In this work, we identify a novel form of modulation produced by unintentional electromagnetic emanations: phase[…]

    Les véhicules connectés intègrent de nombreuses technologies de communications sans-fil à distance, comme celles exploitant les protocoles Bluetooth ou WiFi. Si le gain en confort d’utilisation et d’interaction est notable, la mise à disposition de ce type d’interfaces augmente les risques en matière de cybersécurité. Dans cet article, nous analysons l’implémentation de la pile Bluetooth embarquée[…]
