• Abstract: Side-channel attacks allow to extract sensitive information from cryptographic primitives by correlating the partially known computed data and the measured side-channel signal. Starting from the raw side-channel trace, the preprocessing of the side-channel trace to pinpoint the time at which each cryptographic primitive is executed, and, then, to re-align all the collected data to this specific time represent a critical step to setup a successful side-channel attack. The use of hiding techniques has been widely adopted as a low-cost solution to hinder the preprocessing of side-channel traces thus limiting side-channel attacks in real scenarios. This work introduces Hound, a novel deep learning-based pipeline to locate the execution of cryptographic primitives within the side-channel trace even in the presence of trace deformations introduced by the use of dynamic frequency scaling actuators. Hound has been validated through successful attacks on various cryptographic primitives executed on an FPGA-based system-on-chip incorporating a RISC-V CPU, while dynamic frequency scaling is active. Experimental results demonstrate the possibility of identifying the cryptographic primitives in DFS-deformed side-channel traces.

  We propose a novel approach for performing side-channel attacks on elliptic curve cryptography. We adopt a long-short-term memory (LSTM) neural network to analyze a power trace and identify patterns of operation. We show that current countermeasures, specifically the coordinate randomization technique, are not sufficient to protect against side channels.

  We propose a framework of disentangled representation learning(DRL) that first learns to factor the input signals into a device-relevant component and a device-irrelevant component via adversarial learning. The implicit data augmentation in the proposed framework imposes a regularization on the RFF extractor to avoid the possible overfitting of device-irrelevant channel statistics. Experiments validate that the proposed approach, referred to as DR-RFF, outperforms conventional methods in terms of generalizability to unknown complicated propagation environments.

  Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (QKD) employs the quadratures of a bosonic mode to establish a secret key between two remote parties. We consider a protocol with homodyne detection in the general setting of composable finite-size security. In particular, we analyze the high signal-to-noise regime which requires the use of high-rate (non-binary) low-density parity check codes.
