Motivation

To develop the framework and evaluation criterion for security evaluation of IT products is of utmost requirement. In the recent past various types of side channel attacks have been published into the literature and it has been demonstrated that they can be very effectively used to breach the security of IT products. Some of the attacks like Power Attack, EM Attack, Timing Attack (Including Cache attacks), Fault Attack, Acoustic Attack, Row Hammer Attack and Spectre/Meltdown Attack published recently have really changed the way security evaluation of IT products are carried out. In this proposed targeted training, our endeavour is to have deep understanding of these attacks leading to development of strong evaluation criterion for Side Channel Evaluation of IT products.

Course Content

There has been tremendous advancements in side channel attacks. With the development of attacks like Spectre and Meltdown, it becomes imperative that these avenues of leakage of secret cannot be neglected. Otherwise it can lead to catastrophic consequences. In this targeted training, we attempt to bring in one common platform leading experts from international academia and industry, who has produced ingenious attacks and mitigation techniques. The speakers are carefully chosen to cover the thrust areas, ranging from side channels on embedded platforms to micro- architectures affecting the personal computers and laptops. In addition, we also envisage to add talks on usage of machine learning for early side channel detections and side channels on some chosen post- quantum cryptographic implementations. The targeted training would also be assisted with suitable practical demonstrations to make the theory more understandable.
