Module Number: 11863
Module Title:Hands on Knowledge for Side Channel Attacks
  Praxis der Seitenkanal-Angriffe
Department: Faculty 1 - Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Langendörfer, Peter
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: On special announcement
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:This module aims at providing basic knowledge – theoretical and practical – for successfully conducting side channel attacks.
Contents:Even for successfully applying basic side channel attacks such as „Simple Power Analysis“ or „Simple Electromagnetic Analysis“ knowledge in different areas is essential:
  • Thorough understanding of cryptographic algorithms
  • Good knowledge about measurement and
  • Analysis and evaluation tools
In this mdule the necessary skills will be taught theoretically first. Afterwards they are applied by the students in the crypto hardware laboratory of IHP (Innovations for High Performance Microelectronics). The devices used for practical training have been designed and manufactured at IHP. So there are AES and ECC implementations available for experiments. The power analysis will be based on pre-recorded simulation and measurement results.
