Over the recent years, the cryptanalysis community leveraged the potential of research on Deep Learning to enhance attacks. In particular, several studies have recently highlighted the benefits of Deep Learning based Side-Channel Attacks (DLSCA) to target real-world cryptographic implementations. While this new research area on applied cryptography provides impressive result to recover a secret key even when countermeasures are implemented (e.g. desynchronization, masking schemes), the lack of theoretical results make the construction of appropriate models a notoriously hard problem. In this talk, we propose to investigate a new research axis in order to bridge Deep Learning and Side-Channel Attacks. In particular, we explain the similarities between the generative models and the classical profiled attack (i.e. template attacks, stochastic attacks), and we develop the first DLSCA model that can be fully explained from side-channel theoretical results. This model reduces the black-box property of DL and eases the architecture design for every real-world crypto-system. Finally, a discussion is provided to define the benefits and the limitations of this new solution and a new perspective is proposed for DLSCA models.

    Le mécanisme d'encapsulation de clé Classic McEliece faisait partie des candidats toujours en lice au dernier tour du processus de standardisation de la cryptographie post-quantique initié par le NIST en 2016. Fondé sur les codes correcteurs d'erreurs, en particulier autour du cryptosystème de Niederreiter, sa sécurité n'a pas été fondamentalement remise en cause. Néanmoins, un aspect important du[…]

    Deep neural networks (DNNs) undergo lengthy and expensive training procedures whose outcome - the DNN weights - represents a significant intellectual property asset to protect. Side-channel analysis (SCA) has recently appeared as an effective approach to recover this confidential asset of DNN implementations. Ding et al. (HOST’25) introduced MACPRUNING, a novel SCA countermeasure based on pruning,[…]

    Dans la quête permanente d'une puissance de calcul plus rapide, les processeurs modernes utilisent des techniques permettant d'exploiter au maximum leurs ressources. Parmi ces techniques, l'exécution spéculative tente de prédire le résultat des instructions dont l'issue n'est pas encore connue, mais dont dépend la suite du programme. Cela permet au processeur d'éviter d'être inactif. Cependant,[…]

    Two major changes are currently taking place in the embedded processor ecosystem: open source with the RISC-V instruction set, which could replace the ARM one, and post-quantum cryptography (PQC), which could replace classic asymmetric cryptography algorithms to resist quantum computers.In this context, this thesis investigates the improvement of embedded processor performance, generally for[…]

    Embedded programs (including those on smart cards) are often developed in C and then compiled for the embedded processor. Sometimes they are modified by hand to incorporate countermeasures (fault attacks, etc.), but care must be taken to ensure that this does not disrupt normal program execution and that the countermeasure is actually adequate for blocking the attacks.In the process, it is[…]

    Hardware microarchitecture is a well-known source of side-channel leakages, providing a notable security reduction of standard cryptographic algorithms (e.g. AES) if not properly addressed by software or hardware. In this talk, we present new design approaches to harden processor's microarchitecture against power-based side-channel attacks, relying on configurable and cascadable building blocks[…]
