Guard-NoC: A protection against side-channel attacks for MPSoCs

Multi-Processor System-on-Chips (MPSoCs) are popular computational platforms for a wide variety of applications due to their energy efficiency and flexibility. Like many other platforms they are vulnerable to Side Channel Attacks (SCAs). In particular, Logical SCAs (LSCAs) are very powerful as sensitive information can be retrieved by simply...

Technology Aware Network-on-Chip Connectivity and Synchronization Design

NoCs have been considered as the new design paradigm for large MPSoC systems in the past ten years. In the beginning NoCs were radically different compared to the current state of the art mainly due to the unexpected unique challenges that system designers had to solve with the evolving CMOS technology. In fact, various hidden physical level...
