The equipment attackers need has gotten cheaper and cheaper, and it’s simple to do, so a hacker can easily attack your device spending as little as a few hundred dollars, unless protection against these attacks is built in. Whether or not you’re concerned about these attacks, if you need to comply with regulations, or pass a security certification which includes these attacks (for example, high levels of NIST and Common Criteria), you’ll find that in order to secure your device you’ll need to give up the latency and throughput, or area, or both. It’s a tough tradeoff. Security vs functionality. But we have news for you! You don’t have to choose anymore!

Fortify’s AES security evaluation by SGS

“Summary. The leakage analysis (Welch t-test) on over 30 million traces did not show statistically significant first- and second-order differences between trace sets with fixed and random inputs. The template-based DPA analysis, on the pseudo-random trace set for the profiling phase (15 million traces) and on a sub-set of 300k fix input traces for matching phase targeting the first-round S-box output, and template attack on ciphertext, did not indicate any potential information leakage.”

” The results for the soft IP presented in the report were obtained on the TOE which is the basic hardware implementation of the soft IP without additional levels of security (e.g. that are present in a secure silicon layout). Therefore the internal strength of the soft IP itself was evaluated. This indicates that the investigated features and parameters of the soft IP implementation should be robust against SCA and fault injection attacks in different implementations including ASIC. Nevertheless, according to the Common Criteria rules, the strength of the final composite product must be evaluated on its own.”
