Side-channel attacks remain a permanent threat against embedded systems, thus reliable protections should be implemented and must be minutely evaluated. In this presentation, we study different possible ways to evaluate against such threats. We show how an evaluation can be carried out to validate a security level of a protected hardware implementation. This approach allows us to estimate in advance the expected security level on a real circuit. We explore an efficient and more exhaustive way to test a masked implementation against vulnerabilities induced by glitches. We took advantage in this approach to setup a better model for this phenomenon, and to explain the form of the generated leakage based on a spectral characterization that can be applied also to real acquisitions. This allows us to explain why standard leakage models are ineffective, and why a prior characterization is required to be able to exploit this kind of flaw. With this better understanding of the leakage, we can design more compact and robust functions, that we validate on simulated and real electromagnetic traces.

    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[…]

    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[…]
