Evolutionary neural cascade search across supernetworks

To achieve excellent performance with modern neural networks, having the right network architecture is important. Neural Architecture Search (NAS) concerns the automatic discovery of task-specific network architectures. Modern NAS approaches leverage super-networks whose subnetworks encode candidate neural network architectures. These...

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...
