Learning Outcomes

This module’s qualification aims are: 1. Thorough understanding of security relevant logic on modern integrated circuits. 2. Familiarity with different classes of hardware analysis techniques. 3. Design of purpose-built hardware analysis tools. 4. Hardware attack mitigation techniques and architectural improvements.

Content

This module combines the theoretical “Hardware Security” lecture with the practical “Hardware Security Lab” course. The lecture will introduce students to common hardware analysis techniques including non-invasive, semi-invasive and fully-invasive IC analysis. Students will become familiarized with common pitfalls in secure hardware designs. The lecture will include reading and discussion of introductory material on the topic of hardware security. Though the lecture remains mostly theoretical, the Hardware Security Lab provides students hands-on experience with several low-level attacks. During the practical course students will have an opportunity to perform black box analysis of embedded devices and subsequently design custom hardware analysis tools capable of exploiting vulnerabilities in their implementation. Through this module, students will gain an understanding of common weaknesses in hardware implementation and become familiar with hardware and software mitigation techniques. Students will also learn hardware/software co-design to successfully mount the attacks. TOPICS: Hardware attack scenarios Hardware attack mitigation Timing attacks Power analysis Hardware fault classes Transient faults Sequential & combinatorial logic Common embedded protocols State machines Logical functions & arithmetic computation Logic optimization Security of CPLDs, FPGAs and ASICs Electronic test-equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) Secure design of computer architectures Hardware/software codesign
