Compact FPGA Hardware Platform for Power Analysis Attacks on Cryptographic Algorithms Implementations

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: In this paper, we present a compact hardware platform for power analysis attacks such as a differential power analysis attack.The board is equipped with FPGA chip (namely Altera Cyclone III) and four different measurement points.We provide hardware details of the presented platform and we thoroughly present each of the points dedicated for power consumption measurements.They are used for an extraction of vulnerable information through the power counsumption measured during cryptographic operations.In addition, we provide an example of the power analysis attack based on the differential power analysis.We show properties of the board using attacks on straightforward AES S-box operations and on scalable multiplications in the elliptic curve digital signature algorithm.
