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 ...

Efficient Recursive Diffusion Layers for Block Ciphers, and Hash Functions

Pouyan Sepehrdad

Many modern block ciphers use maximum distance separable (MDS) matrices as the main part of their diffusion layers. In this paper, we propose a very efficient new class of diffusion layers constructed from several rounds of Feistel-like structures whose ro ...

Automated Side-Channel Vulnerability Discovery and Hardening

Ali Galip Bayrak

In traditional cryptography, an attacker tries to infer a mathematical relationship between the inputs and outputs of a cryptosystem to recover secret information. With the advances in the theoretical basis of the cryptographic algorithms, this task became ...

Security Analysis of Accountable Anonymity in Dissent

Bryan Alexander Ford, Henry Nathaniel Corrigan-Gibbs

Users often wish to communicate anonymously on the Internet, for example in group discussion or instant messaging forums. Existing solutions are vulnerable to misbehaving users, however, who may abuse their anonymity to disrupt communication. Dining Crypto ...

Unifying Leakage Models: From Probing Attacks to Noisy Leakage

Alexandre Raphaël Duc, Sebastian Faust

A recent trend in cryptography is to formally show the leakage resilience of cryptographic implementations in a given leakage model. One of the most prominent leakage models -- the so-called bounded leakage model -- assumes that the amount of leakage is a- ...

A Fast and Versatile Quantum Key Distribution System with Hardware Key Distillation and Wavelength Multiplexing

Andreas Peter Burg, Jeremy Hugues-Felix Constantin, Nicolas Gisin

We present a compactly integrated, 625 MHz clocked coherent one-way quantum key distribution system which continuously distributes secret keys over an optical fibre link. To support high secret key rates, we implemented a fast hardware key distillation eng ...

Elliptic and Hyperelliptic Curves: A Practical Security Analysis

Joppe Willem Bos, Andrea Miele

Motivated by the advantages of using elliptic curves for discrete logarithm-based public-key cryptography, there is an active research area investigating the potential of using hyperelliptic curves of genus 2. For both types of curves, the best known algor ...

Low-Latency Elliptic Curve Scalar Multiplication

Joppe Willem Bos

This paper presents a low-latency algorithm designed for parallel computer architectures to compute the scalar multiplication of elliptic curve points based on approaches from cryptographic side-channel analysis. A graphics processing unit implementation u ...

A First Step Towards Automatic Application of Power Analysis Countermeasures

Paolo Ienne, Francesco Regazzoni, Philip Brisk, Ali Galip Bayrak

In cryptography, side channel attacks, such as power analysis, attempt to uncover secret information from the physical implementation of cryptosystems rather than exploiting weaknesses in the cryptographic algorithms themselves. The design and implementati ...

Computer Aided Cryptanalysis from Ciphers to Side Channels

Martin Vuagnoux

In this dissertation, we study the security of cryptographic protocols and cryptosystems from the mathematical definition of the primitives, up to their physical implementations in the real world. We propose a representation of the chronological design usi ...
