Side-channel attacks that leak sensitive information through a computing device's interaction
with its physical environment have proven to be a severe threat to devices' security …

Abstract Even today, Side-Channel Analysis attacks pose a serious threat to the security of
cryptographic implementations fabricated with low-power and nanoscale feature …

Side channel attacks (SCA) have the potential of disrupting the trust of the users on
computing platforms and cryptographic algorithms. The main challenge in the design of …

Finding the root cause of power-based side-channel leakage becomes harder when
multiple layers of design abstraction are involved. While side-channel leakage originates in …

In the vulnerability analysis of System on Chips, memory hierarchy is considered among the
most valuable element to protect against information theft. Many first-order side-channel …

Physical side-channel attacks utilize power, electromagnetic (EM), or timing signatures from
cryptographic implementations during operation to retrieve sensitive information from …

While side-channel leakage is traditionally evaluated from a fabricated chip, it is more time-
efficient and cost-effective to do so during the design phase of the chip. We present a …

Commercial electronic design automation (EDA) tools typically focus on optimizing the
power, area, and speed of integrated circuits (ICs). They rarely consider hardware security …

Pre-silicon side-channel leakage assessment is a useful tool to identify hardware
vulnerabilities at design time, but it requires many high-resolution power traces and …

This work presents a white-box modeling of the electromagnetic (EM) leakage from an
integrated circuit (IC) to develop EM side-channel analysis (SCA)-aware design techniques …
