  • Lattice-based NIST candidates: abstractions and ninja tricks

    • April 23, 2021

    • PQShield – United Kingdom - Web-Conférence

    Speaker : Thomas Prest

    I will present the remaining lattice-based candidates for standardization by NIST (2 signature schemes, 5 encryption schemes). At a high level, these can all be interpreted as straightforward instantiations of decades-old paradigms. But when we look under the hood, all of them make design choices which impact their security, efficiency and portability in distinct manners; we will discuss these.[…]
  • SideLine and the advent of software-induced hardware attacks

    • March 19, 2021

    • Mines Saint-Etienne – Thales - Web-Conférence

    Speaker : Joseph Gravellier

    In this talk, we will discuss software-induced hardware attacks and their impact for IoT, cloud and mobile security. More specifically, I will introduce SideLine, a new power side-channel attack vector that can be triggered remotely to infer cryptographic secrets. SideLine is based on the intentional misuse of delay-lines components embedded in SoCs that use external memory. I will explain how we[…]
  • Calibration Done Right: Noiseless Flush+Flush Attacks

    • March 19, 2021

    • DGA-IRISA - Web-Conférence

    Speaker : Guillaume Didier

    Caches leak information through timing measurements and so-called side-channel attacks. Several primitives exist with different requirements and trade-offs. Flush+Flush is a stealthy and fast cache attack primitive that uses the timing of the clflush instruction depending on the presence of a line in the cache. However, the CPU interconnect plays a bigger role than thought in these timings, and[…]
  • libecc: a flexible open-source ECC library for embedded devices

    • February 14, 2020

    • ANSSI - Salle Pétri/Turing

    Speaker : Ryad Benadjila et Arnaud Ebalard

    libecc is a software library for elliptic curves based cryptography (ECC), with an API supporting signature algorithms specified in the ISO14888-3 standard.Advanced usages of this library also include the possible implementation of elliptic curve based Diffie-Hellman protocols as well as any algorithm on top of prime fields based elliptic curves (or prime fields, or rings of integers).The[…]
  • Vers une meilleure compréhension de l’apprentissage profond appliqué aux attaques par observation

    • January 10, 2020

    • CEA - Salle Métivier

    Speaker : Loïc Masure

    Les attaques par observation (SCA) exploitent les failles d’une primitive cryptographique embarquée sur un composant (type carte à puce, IoT, …), en mesurant des grandeurs physiques qui dépendent indirectement de la valeur de la clé secrète. C’est pourquoi il est primordial pour les développeurs de proposer des contre-mesures adaptées et d’évaluer leur efficacité face à un attaquant potentiel.Au[…]
  • One Fault Can Go A Long Way

    • November 15, 2019

    • Nanyang Technological University - Métivier

    Speaker : Shivam Bhasin

    *Abstract:* Fault attacks are considered among critical threat to embedded cryptography. This talk will be divided into in two parts. The first part of the talk will explore application of faults on advanced security primitives. We present persistent fault analysis introduced at CHES 2017 and its capability to bypass state of the art fault countermeasures as well as higher-order masking with one[…]
