FortifyIQ, Inc. is very excited to announce the hire of Yaacov Belenky to be the Chief Innovation Officer, as of January 1, 2020.

Mr. Belenky has over 20 years of experience having worked at Intel as a Technical Leader in Security (2017-2019), at CISCO as a Security Expert and Researcher (2012-2017), and at NDS as a Principal Engineer, designing side-channel defenses (1998-2019). Since 2013, Yaacov has worked primarily on performing side-channel attacks and designing side-channel defenses. Yaacov is the author and co-author of 24 granted patents in the area of security, nine of which are in Cryptography.

Listed among the 100 top inventors (#81 in the world and #2 in Israel) in Cryptography by PatentsEncyclopedia.com, Mr. Belenky has also developed
a mathematical theory of hexaflexagons to be published in the near future.

Since mid-2019, Mr. Belenky has been assisting the FortifyIQ team as an advisor. In his new role, Mr. Belenky will be responsible for FortifyIQ’s continuous innovation and leadership in product and solution development to fight vulnerabilities to the side-channel attacks in hardware at the pre-silicon stage, as well as expansion in new directions.

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.”
