HARDWARE SECURITY ATTACKS - A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER

There is a lot of secret data around us. The most valuable secrets such as cryptographic keys should be given the best possible protections. The key to doing that is burying the data in hardware. Though nowadays, you need more than just that to secure your data secrets. The device must also be protected since there are cheap and practical attacks that make it possible to extract secrets from unprotected hardware units. Check out this video to learn more about these attacks and how they are carried out. You will also learn how you can prepare your security design to pass the NIST requirement, Common Criteria certification and much more!

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.”
