WHAT ARE THE DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR SIDECHANNEL STUDIO?

The ScopeIQ simulator of SideChannel studio receives 3 major inputs: the gate level netlist, the target cell library, and a test bench. Side-channel traces produced by ScopeIQrunning are fed to the side-channel trace analyzer called ScoreIQ. Customers can then choose which plugin attack module ScoreIQshould run. Depending on the chosen plugin, SCORE IQ either performs one of the attacks from the library or the TVLA assessment of side-channel leakage. Customers have the option of adding their own plugin for an attack that is not represented in the existing library. The algorithm for this can be written in C, C++ or Python and plugged in to the ScoreIQinfrastructure. They can then view the results in graphical and digital forms, as you will learn in this video.

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.”
