Cryptography Research is hosting a two-day workshop on power analysis and countermeasures, with a special focus on Suite B/government applications, on March 13 and 14, 2012, at the Bechtel Conference Center in Reston, Virginia.
The workshop provides an introduction to timing and power analysis attacks such as simple and differential power analysis (SPA/DPA). Participants will perform hands-on exercises to recover AES keys and public keys. Live DPA key extraction will be performed on a mobile phone, ECC device, and SASEBO FPGA platform using the DPA Workstation™.
Presenters will examine practical design approaches to counter power analysis threats and review the state of associated U.S. and international security evaluation certifications, such as U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3 and Common Criteria.
The prime audience includes system developers, architects, and evaluators for anti-tamper (AT) defense applications. A technical background is recommended.
Seating is limited, and registration will close on March 2, 2012 or when capacity is met. Breakfast and lunch are provided.
