DSD 2022

The Euromicro Conference on Digital System Design (DSD) addresses all aspects of (embedded, pervasive and high-performance) digital and mixed HW/SW system engineering, covering the whole design trajectory from specification down to micro-architectures, digital circuits and VLSI implementations. It is a forum for researchers and engineers from academia and industry working on advanced investigations, developments and applications.

Secure-IC will participate in the next edition of DSD from August 31.

• Sylvain Guilley; CTO of Secure-IC, will present “Be My Guess: Guessing Entropy vs. Success Rate for Evaluating Side-Channel Attacks of Secure Chips”.
• ABSTRACT: In a theoretical context of side-channel attacks, optimal bounds between success rate and guessing entropy are derived with a simple majorization (Schur-concavity) argument. They are further theoretically refined for different versions of the classical Hamming weight leakage model, in particular assuming apriori equiprobable secret keys and additive white Gaussian measurement noise. Closed-form expressions and numerical computation are given. A study of the impact of the choice of the substitution box with respect to side-channel resistance reveals that its nonlinearity tends to homogenize the expressivity of success rate and guessing entropy. The intriguing approximate relation \(GE=1/SR\) is observed in the case of 8-bit bytes and low noise.
