An Open-Hardware Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Array for Edge Computing

David Atienza Alonso, Giovanni Ansaloni, José Angel Miranda Calero, Rubén Rodríguez Álvarez, Juan Pablo Sapriza Araujo, Benoît Walter Denkinger, Ruben Rodriguez

In this work, we propose an open-hardware low-power coarse-grained reconfigurable array connected to a lightweight microcontroller and enclosed in an application mapping framework. The latter provides complete support to configure kernels in the reconfigur ...

Automatic Application of Power Analysis Countermeasures

Paolo Ienne, Francesco Regazzoni, Philip Brisk, David Novo Bruna, Ali Galip Bayrak

We introduce a compiler that automatically inserts software countermeasures to protect cryptographic algorithms against power-based side-channel attacks. The compiler first estimates which instruction instances leak the most information through side-channe ...
