Description
The masking countermeasure constitutes a provably secure approach against side-channel attacks. Nonetheless, in the software context, the micro-architecture underlying a given CPU potentially induces information leakages undermining the masking's proven security.
In this seminar, I will present the research work developed during my Ph.D. at CEA-List in Grenoble. This work addresses, along two axes, the problem of developing practically secure masked software.
The first axis targets the automated generation of masked software resilient to transition-based leakages, putting forward the employment of register allocation and instruction scheduling to mitigate such leakages during the compilation of the masked software.
The second axis focuses on the impact of the micro-architecture on alternative types of masking, studying their potential employment as a micro-architecture-independent approach to protect software implementations against both transition-based leakages and data parallelism; this latter an unexplored topic for masked software implementations.
I will conclude the seminar highlighting key points concerning the development of practically secure masked software and potential future developments of my research work.

PhaseSCA: Exploiting Phase-Modulated Emanations in Side Channels
Speaker : Pierre Ayoub - LAAS-CNRS
In recent years, the limits of electromagnetic side-channel attacks have been significantly expanded.However, while there is a growing literature on increasing attack distance or performance, the discovery of new phenomenons about compromising electromagnetic emanations remains limited. In this work, we identify a novel form of modulation produced by unintentional electromagnetic emanations: phase[…]-

Conformité TEMPEST et compromission d’information au travers de l’arbre d’alimentation d’un équipement
Speaker : Tristan PECHERAU, David HARDY - Thalès
THALES conçoit des équipements cryptographiques et de radiocommunication tactiques, navales et aéronautiques, embarquant des éléments de chiffrement pour la sécurité des communications. Cette sécurité notamment d’un point de vue des émanations électromagnétiques est normée. Ces normes de sécurité de l’information, sont connues sous le nom de code “TEMPEST”, correspondant aux normes OTAN SDIP-27,[…] -
Prise de contrôle d’un infodivertissement automobile à distance
Speaker : Philippe Trebuchet, Guillaume Bouffard - ANSSI
Les véhicules connectés intègrent de nombreuses technologies de communications sans-fil à distance, comme celles exploitant les protocoles Bluetooth ou WiFi. Si le gain en confort d’utilisation et d’interaction est notable, la mise à disposition de ce type d’interfaces augmente les risques en matière de cybersécurité. Dans cet article, nous analysons l’implémentation de la pile Bluetooth embarquée[…]-
