Advanced Hardware Hacking - Hands-On Power Analysis & Glitching with the ChipWhisperer

Side-Channel Power Analysis - that freaky method of extracting secret keys from embedded systems that doesn't rely on exploits or coding errors. It can be used to read out an AES-128 key in less than 60 seconds from a standard implementation on a small microcontroller. Are your products vulnerable to such an attack? This course is loaded with hands-on examples to teach you not only about the attacks and theories, but how to apply them. The course uses the open-source ChipWhisperer project (www.chipwhisperer.com) for both hardware & software tools, meaning attendees can immediately take the knowledge learned in this course and apply it in real life. The course includes a ChipWhisperer-Lite, so students walk away with the hands-on hardware used during the lab. During the two-day course, topics covered will include: theory behind side-channel power analysis, measuring power in existing systems, setting up the ChipWhisperer hardware & software, several demonstrated attacks, understanding and demonstration glitch attacks, and analyzing your own hardware. As this course uses entirely open-source tools & examples, attendees will be able to use this knowledge in their own training courses, for example training employees at their workplace in these techniques. Side Channel Power Analysis & Fault Attacks have never been more accessible, and testing your products has never been this inexpensive or easy.
