Differential power analysis (DPA) has been a threat vector on the chip landscape for a number of years. It was discovered around the mid 1990s by the teams at Rambus’ Cryptography Research Division, ...

Physical electronic systems routinely leak information about the internal process of computing. In practical terms, this means attackers can exploit various side-channel techniques to gather data and ...

Microsemi's IGLOO2 flash-based FPGAs incorporate differential power analysis countermeasure technology to prevent counterfeiting and hardware attacks. Figure 1. The IGLOO2 FPGA uses an instant-on, ...

As its name implies, simple power analysis is based on the direct observations of power or electromagnetic (EM) measurements, with secret information extracted from these (direct) measurements. Secret ...
