Machine Learning-Based Side-Channel Analysis On The Advanced Encryption Standard, Jack Edmonds, Tyler Moon
Electrical and Computer Engineering Senior Theses
Hardware security is essential in keeping sensitive information private. Because of this, it’s imperative that we evaluate the ability of cryptosystems to withstand cutting edge attacks. Doing so encourages the development of countermeasures and new methods of data protection as needed. In this thesis, we present our findings of an evaluation of the Advanced Encryption Standard, particularly unmasked and masked AES-128, implemented in software on an STM32F415 microcontroller unit (MCU), against machine learning-based side-channel analysis (MLSCA). 12 machine learning classifiers were used in combination with a side-channel leakage model in the context of four scenarios: profiling one device and key …
