ECE PhD Defense: "Novel Side-Channel Attacks on Emerging Cryptographic Algorithms and Computer Systems," Chao Luo

Abstract: After more than 20 year's research and development, side-channel attacks are constantly posing serious threats to various computing systems. When targeting crypto-implementations to retrieve the secret, side-channel attacks utilize the peculiarity of the specific implementations, and achieve much better efficiency than brute force attacks and traditional cryptanalysis which attacks the weakness of the cryptographic algorithms themselves. Typical side channels include power consumption, electromagnetic emanation, and execution time. With inherent correlation between these side-...
