Robust and Efficient Approaches to Evaluating Side Channel and Fault Attack Resilience (REASSURE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

Implementing cryptography on embedded devices is an ongoing challenge: every year new implementation flaws are discovered and new attack paths are being used by real life adversaries. Whilst cryptography can guarantee many security properties, it crucially depends on the ability to keep the used keys secret even in face of determined adversaries. Over the last two decades a new type of adversary h ...
