Side Channel Finder (Version 1.0)∗ Poster Proposal

چکیده
The Problem of Side Channels A cryptographic mechanism based on algorithms which are proven to be secure may become vulnerable after it is implemented in some programming language and run on an actual computer system. Side channel attacks are based on the fact that by observing the implementation’s behavior which is not modeled by the underlying cryptographic algorithm the attacker can infer confidential data, e.g., a secret key. Therefore, when developing a cryptographic mechanism it is desirable to check whether its actual implementation opens up side channels. One possibility to launch a side channel attack is to exploit the variance in the running time of a crypto-algorithm implementation. First studies of timing attacks on cryptographic schemes, including Diffie-Hellman and RSA, date back to mid 1990s [5]. Since then, they have been practically demonstrated [4], optimized [8], and evaluated [9]. We present the Side Channel Finder in the version 1.0 (short SCF 1.0), a static analysis tool for detection of potential timing channels in Java implementations of cryptographic algorithms. To the best of our knowledge, SCF 1.0 is the first timing channel analysis tool for Java.

A More General Version of the Costa Theorem
In accordance with the Costa theorem, the interference which is independent of the channel input and known non-causally at the transmitter, does not affect the capacity of the Gaussian channel. In some applications, the known interference depends on the input and hence has some information. In this paper, we study the channel with input dependent interference and prove a capacity theorem that n...
متن کاملOntoWiki 1.0: 10 Years of Development - What's New in OntoWiki
In this demonstration (with supportive poster) we present the semantic data wiki OntoWiki, which was released in version 1.0 just recently. We focus on the changes introduced to the tool in the latest release and showcase the generic data wiki, improvements we made with regard to the documentation as well as three success stories where OntoWiki was adapted and deployed.
متن کاملImproving Confidentiality Against Cache-based SCAs
Side channels and covert channels can give untrusted applications access to the trusted and sensitive data in order to retrieve private information.. In this poster, we present a countermeasure called the Smartflush against cache-based Side Channel Attacks (SCAs). The Smartflush is a quick-patch countermeasure proposed to counter timing attacks that exploit inclusive caches in Intel’s x86 archi...
متن کاملImproved Channel Estimation for DVB-T2 Systems by Utilizing Side Information on OFDM Sparse Channel Estimation
The second generation of digital video broadcasting (DVB-T2) standard utilizes orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system to reduce and to compensate the channel effects by utilizing its estimation. Since wireless channels are inherently sparse, it is possible to utilize sparse representation (SR) methods to estimate the channel. In addition to sparsity feature of the channel, the...
