This paper describes the first attack utilizing the photonic side channel against a public-key crypto-system. We evaluated three common implementations of RSA modular exponentiation, all using the Karatsuba multiplication method. We discovered that the key length had marginal impact on resilience to the attack: attacking a 2048-bit key required only 9% more decryption attempts than a 1024-bit key...
Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are introduced to remedy the shortcomings of traditional methods of secure key storage and random key generation on Integrated Circuits (ICs). Due to their effective and low-cost implementations, intrinsic PUFs are popular PUF instances employed to improve the security of different applications on reconfigurable hardware. In this work we introduce a novel laser...
Today, hardware implementations are the basis for many security applications, such as cryptographic ciphers. Such applications are realized using complex combinatorial logic circuits of substantial size. Therefore, understanding the gate-level implementation can be crucial for the attacker. However, Hardware Description Language (HDL) behavioral models and gate-level net list are seldom available...
Photons can be exploited to reveal secrets of security ICs like smartcards, secure microcontrollers, and cryptographic coprocessors. One such secret is the secret key of cryptographic algorithms. This work gives an overview about current research on revealing these secret keys by exploiting the photonic side channel. Different analysis methods are presented. It is shown that the analysis of photonic...
