DPA Research
— Bruce Schneier, CTO of Counterpane Internet Security, Inc. and author of 'Applied Cryptography' and 'Beyond Fear: Thinking Sensibly About Security in an Uncertain World'
Since Cryptography Research's discovery of SPA and DPA attacks in the 1990s, a vast amount of research has emerged. Over 1,800 academic papers cite Cryptography Research's original white paper introducing DPA. The following technical papers have been published by our research staff and are available publicly.
Protecting FPGAs from Power Analysis
A whitepaper describing how SPA and DPA vulnerabilities apply to FPGAs, and guidance about the types of countermeasures that can be implemented to protect FPGAs against these attacks.
Design and Testing Strategies for Power Analysis & Related Attacks
An examination of testing methodologies for obtaining assurance in countermeasures to power analysis and related attacks.
Overview of Differential Power Analysis
An engineering overview of Differential Power Analysis by Paul Kocher, Joshua Jaffe, and Benjamin Jun.
Differential Power Analysis
An academic paper introducing the discovery of Differential Power Analysis by Paul Kocher, Joshua Jaffe, and Benjamin Jun.
Timing Attacks on Implementations of Diffie-Hellman, RSA, DSS, and Other Systems
An academic paper by Paul Kocher introducing timing attack cryptanalysis. Many elements of timing attacks are relevant to DPA.
