"Towards Side Channel-aware Design Automation Technology"

Abstract

In this talk, I will present an ongoing research project about hardware security and electronic design automation (EDA) technology in our group at Institute of Science Tokyo (formerly Tokyo Institute of Technology), Japan. The goal of this project is to build a security-aware EDA framework to let hardware designers efficiently design power side-channel resistant circuits, which are very tricky to implement. The recent achievement I am going to talk about is still an immature but important step for this goal. I will talk about the insights that we obtained from this early achievement to further progress in a big, long-term project that I'd like to pursue.

This seminar will be held in English.
