CSE 227: Lecture 2


The topics covered in this lecture are RSA, Smart cards, Physical Attacks, Differential Timing Analysis, Differential Power Analysis,

RSA

Euler phi function. Encrypt/Decrypt. Modular exponentiation.

Smart Cards

Applications: smart card-based credit cards; satellite television decoding. Used to hold secret key of public key algorithm. Standard cryptographic algorithm analysis do not take physical possession into account.

Physical Attacks

Peeling a chip. Improper operating voltage, clock.

Differential Timing Analysis

Statistical analysis.

Differential Power Analysis

Additional Info

Security vulnerability found in ethernet device driver. Information leak.
