Cryptography Research Introduction to Side Channel Analysis: SPA, DPA and Timing Attacks workshop

WASHINGTON, D.C. - 14th AUGUST 2008

Cryptography Research, Inc. (CRI) will hold a one-day workshop entitled 'An Introduction to Side Channel Analysis - SPA, DPA and Timing Attacks' at the Crowne Plaza Washington DC/Silver Spring Hotel on 14 August 2008.

The workshop provides an introduction to side channel attacks, including power analysis attacks such as SPA and DPA and timing analysis. CRI will examine practical design approaches to countering power analysis threats and review the state of associated U.S. and international security certifications.

Attendees will have the opportunity to perform hands on exercises, including reconstruction of a timing attack and using SPA to interpret power traces and recover a simulated PIN. CRI will also demonstrate a live DPA attack using the DPA Workstation™.

The prime audiences for the workshop include developers and architects of hardware and software security products, as well as evaluators and technical writers of requirements for tamper resistant products. Technologists designing and testing tamper resistant systems for consumer products, financial systems, anti-piracy/conditional access systems, or government/defense applications are encouraged to attend.
