Over the recent years, the cryptanalysis community leveraged the potential of research on Deep Learning to enhance attacks. In particular, several studies have recently highlighted the benefits of Deep Learning based Side-Channel Attacks (DLSCA) to target real-world cryptographic implementations. While this new research area on applied cryptography provides impressive result to recover a secret key even when countermeasures are implemented (e.g. desynchronization, masking schemes), the lack of theoretical results make the construction of appropriate models a notoriously hard problem. In this talk, we propose to investigate a new research axis in order to bridge Deep Learning and Side-Channel Attacks. In particular, we explain the similarities between the generative models and the classical profiled attack (i.e. template attacks, stochastic attacks), and we develop the first DLSCA model that can be fully explained from side-channel theoretical results. This model reduces the black-box property of DL and eases the architecture design for every real-world crypto-system. Finally, a discussion is provided to define the benefits and the limitations of this new solution and a new perspective is proposed for DLSCA models.

    Data-centric applications such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT) impose increasingly stringent demands on the performance, the security and the energy efficiency of modern computing architectures. Traditional approaches are often unable to keep pace with these requirements making necessary to explore innovative paradigms such as in-memory computing. This paradigm is[…]

    Since the 1970s, the complexity of systems on a chip has grown significantly. In order to improve system performance, manufacturers are integrating an increasing number of heterogeneous components on a single silicon chip. The incorporation of these components renders SoCs highly versatile yet significantly complex. Their multipurpose nature makes them suitable for use in a variety of domains,[…]

    Ring oscillators (ROs) are often used in true random number generators (TRNGs). The jitter of their clock signal, used as a source of randomness, stems from thermal and flicker noises. While thermal noise jitter is often identified as the main source of randomness, flicker noise jitter is not taken into account due to its autocorrelated nature which greatly complexifies modelling. However, it is a[…]

    Hardware Trojan Horses that are software-exploitable can be inserted into microprocessors, allowing attackers to run unauthorized code or escalate privileges. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that attackers could observe certain microprocessor features - seemingly unrelated to the program's execution - to exfiltrate secrets or private data. So, even devices produced in secure foundries could[…]

    The threat of Hardware Trojan-based Covert Channels (HT-CCs) presents a significant challenge to the security of wireless communications. In this work, we generate in hardware and make open-source a dataset for various HT-CC scenarios. The dataset represents transmissions from a HT-infected RF transceiver hiding a CC that leaks information. It encompasses a wide range of signal impairments, noise[…]

    With the widespread development of artifical intelligence, Deep Neural Networks (DNN) have become valuable intellectual property (IP). In the past few years, software and hardware-based attacks targetting at the weights of the DNN have been introduced allowing potential attacker to gain access to a near-perfect copy of the victim's model. However, these attacks either fail against more complex[…]
