Description
The main purpose of cryptography is to ensure secure communication. In order to achieve this goal, cryptographic schemes make an intensive use of random numbers. Given that the security of these schemes highly depends on these numbers, it is important to produce high-quality random numbers. Knowing that most cryptographic modules are nowadays implemented in logic devices, we investigated True Random Number Generators (TRNGs) that can be implemented in this kind of technology. Because of the critical nature of TRNGs in cryptographic schemes, their source and their quality must be evaluated in details.
Historically, TRNGS were considered as black boxes which produce sequences of random numbers. There were therefore solely evaluated using statistical tests. However, this consideration turns out to be not acceptable for security. Modern approaches (e.g. AIS 31) consist in characterizing sources of randomness and randomness extraction mechanisms.
In this talk, we will highlight the main challenges and modern approaches in TRNG security evaluation. One of these challenges is the characterization of the source of randomness. It leads us to consider various electronic noises that need to be characterized and for which, the contribution to the overall entropy need to be assessed.

Fine-grained dynamic partitioning against cache-based side channel attacks
Orateur : Nicolas Gaudin - Trasna
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 on Complex Processors: From Microachitectural Characterization to Probabilistic Models
Orateur : Julien Maillard - CEA
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[…]-

PhaseSCA: Exploiting Phase-Modulated Emanations in Side Channels
Orateur : 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[…]-

THALES conçoit des équipements cryptographiques et de radiocommunication tactiques, navales et aéronautiques, embarquant des éléments de chiffrement pour la sécurité des communications. Cette sécurité notamment d’un point de vue des émanations électromagnétiques est normée. Ces normes de sécurité de l’information, sont connues sous le nom de code “TEMPEST”, correspondant aux normes OTAN SDIP-27,[…] -
Prise de contrôle d’un infodivertissement automobile à distance
Orateur : Philippe Trebuchet, Guillaume Bouffard - ANSSI
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[…]-
