Reinforcement Learning for Profiled Side-Channel Analysis: Applications of Q-Learning in the SCA Domain

Side-channel attacks (SCA), which use unintended leakage to retrieve a secret cryptographic key, have become more sophisticated over time. With the recent successes of machine learning (ML) and especially deep learning (DL) techniques against cryptographic implementations even in the presence of dedicated countermeasures, various methods have...

Robust Navigation Framework for Proximity Operations around Uncooperative Spacecraft: A monocular vision-based navigation approach using deep learning

Autonomous vision-based navigation is a crucial element for space applications involving a potentially uncooperative target, such as proximity operations for on-orbit servicing or active debris removal. Due to low mass and power characteristics, monocular vision sensors are an attractive choice for onboard vision-based navigation systems. This...
