Power Side-Channel Dac Implementations For Xilinx Fpgas, Daniel Chase Savory
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis presents a novel power side-channel DAC (PS-DAC) which is constructed from user-controllable short circuits in FPGAs and which manipulate overall system power through dynamic power dissipation. Alternately, similar PS-DACs are created using shift-register primitives(SRL16E) which manipulate system power through switching logic, for means of comparison with short-circuit-based PS-DACs. PS-DACs are created of various sizes using both short-circuit-based and shift-register-based methods. These PS-DACs are characterized in terms of output linearity,monotonicity, and frequency distortion. Applications explored in this thesis which use PS-DAC technology include a Simple Power Analysis (SPA) side-channel transmitter, and a frequency watermarking application. These applications serve as …

Sponsorship: NASA Earth Science Technology Office (ESTO). While FPGAs provide exibility for performing high-performance DSP functions, they consume a significant amount of power. For arithmetic circuits, a large portion of the dynamic power is wasted on unproductive signal glitches. Pipelining can be used to significantly reduce the unproductive power wasted in signal glitches. This paper presents a methodology for estimating the amount of power consumed by glitches and applies this methodology to non-pipelined, pipelined, and digit-serial multipliers. This glitch estimation is used to evaluate these multipliers using four energy metrics: energy per operation, energy delay, energy throughput, and energy density. …
