Methodologies for deep learning SCA: An analysis on the design and construction of convolutional neural networks for side-channel datasets

Side-channel attacks leverage the unintentional leakage of information that indirectly relates to cryptographic secrets such as encryption keys. Previous settings would involve an attacker conducting some manual-statistical analysis to exploit this data and retrieve sensitive information from the target. With the adoption of deep learning...

Exploring Deep Learning for Hardware Attacks

The international community firmly recognizes cyber-attacks as a serious fear that could endanger the global economy. The Global Risks 2015 report, published by the World Economic Forum, included this rather strong warning: “90 percent of companies worldwide recognize that they are insufficiently prepared to protect themselves against cyber...
