Course Overview
In this course, you will learn to perform side-channel leakage analysis flow for assessing data integrity of IC design using the RedHawk-SC Security. The course includes a) an introduction to side-channel leakage analysis (SCLA); b) the Ansys security verification flow; and c) a comprehensive hands-on lab session for layout and power SCLA flow. You will learn a complete security verification methodology with important security metrics and assessment results to qualify your IC design from hardware security analysis and data integrity signoff perspectives. The course will address a number of hardware security analytics topics including correlation power analysis (CPA), power deliver network (PDN), electromagnetic side-channel analysis (EMSCA), T-score, simulation measurement-to-disclosure (SMTD) for key disclosure and custom leakage model (CLM). You will experience the usage of Security Insight as an ease-of-use GUI to interpret side-channel analysis result to root-cause the leakage source.
Prerequisites
- Have a basic understanding of IC power analysis, and IR drop analysis principles.
- Have conceptual knowledge of hardware security, cryptographic algorithm and side-channel analysis.
- Have experiences with Python language and UNIX text editor.
Teaching Method
Self-paced slide presentation and lab demonstration to showcase the solution.
