Description

    Nicolas Aragon

In 2017, the NIST (National Institute for Standards and Technology) started astandardization process in order to select post-quantum encryption and digital signature schemes. Among the proposed solutions, two rank-metric based encryption schemes were selected for the second round of the standardization process: ROLLOand RQC.
This raised questions about both the performance and the security of the implementations of rank-metric cryptography. While the performance has been significantly improved recently, the question of the resistance to side-channel attacks needs to be studied more deeply.
This talk will present an overview of the existing primitives in rank-based cryptography and the challenges of making a secure implementation of these primitives.

    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[…]

    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[…]
