Design Automation for Side Channel Resistant Lightweight Cryptography
Rajat Sadhukhan, Debdeep Mukhopadhyay · 2020
The scaling of devices in loT era has opened doors to broad range of privacy and security concerns making it vulnerable to various side channel attacks (SCA) and differential fault attacks (DFA). The generic EDA flows provide powerful solutions for simulation, verification, power, performance and area (PPA) optimizations. But these flows are not enabled to detect side channel leakages or provide countermeasures or handle huge search space under both lightweightedness and security dimension paradigm. So, we propose to augment classical EDA flow with security aware notion addressing the challenges wrt primitive design, SCA and DFA thereby helping crypto-designers to reduce overall design cycle-time and early detection of security flaws in lightweight design and provide countermeasure.
