Side-channel analysis (SCA) and implementation attacks have become an important field of research at universities and in the industry. In order to enhance the resistance of cryptographic and security critical implementations within the design phase, constructive attacks and analyzing techniques may serve as a quality metric to optimize the design and development process. Since 2010, COSADE provides an international platform for researchers, academics, and industry participants to present their work and their current research topics. It is an excellent opportunity to exchange on new results with international experts and to initiate new collaborations and information exchange at a professional level. The workshop will feature both invited presentations and contributed talks.
The tenth International Workshop on Constructive Side-Channel Analysis and Secure Design will be organized and held by the Technical University of Darmstadt.
The topics of COSADE 2019 include, but are not limited to:
- Implementation attacks and exploitations:
Side-channel analysis, fault-injection attacks, probing and read-out, hardware Trojans, cloning and counterfeiting, side-channel or fault- injection based reverse engineering - Secure implementation:
Cryptographic blocks (including post-quantum and lightweight ciphers), random number generators, physical unclonable functions, leakage- resilient cryptography, fault-injection tolerant design, and tamper-detection - Implementation attack-resilient architectures and schemes:
Trusted environment (Secure boot, execution, storage, isolation, virtualization, firmware update), protections against micro-architectural side-channels and covert channels, cache attacks, software-enabled implementation attacks, white-box cryptography - Secure design and evaluation:
Security and leakage models, formal analysis of secure implementations, design automation and tools, evaluation tooling, domain-specific security analysis of e.g., IoT, medical, automotive, industrial-control systems, mobile, security analysis based on artificial intelligence
