Cryptographic algorithms today are designed to withstand a great deal of cryptanalytic efforts. Side channel attacks, as the ones discussed in this session, are methods to attack insecure implementations of secure algorithms. This session focuses on two widely deployed computing devices.
Topic 1: Black-Box Side-Channel Attacks Highlight the Importance of Countermeasures - An Analysis of the Xilinx Virtex-4 and Virtex-5 Bitstream Encryption Mechanism
Topic 2: Power Analysis of Atmel CryptoMemory - Recovering Keys from Secure EEPROMs
