Goals
This course provides application perspectives on cryptography. This is a course for students interested in hardware and software design in industry i.e. real-world security applications. The course is devoted to the state-of-art in cryptographic hardware and embedded systems. The students will learn about implementation techniques as well as about hardware security of the cryptographic devices. An important aspect is to learn about numerous pervasive applications of security running on extremely constrained platforms such as mobile phones, RFID tags etc.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge in embedded systems
Contents
• Introduction to cryptography and embedded security
• Modular arithmetic & finite fields for cryptography including software
and hardware realizations of those
• Implementation perspectives on:
- Symmetric-key primitives: block ciphers DES and AES, hash functions
- Public-Key Cryptography: RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography
- Lightweight block Ciphers for RFIDs
• Secure implementations of cryptographic primitives
• Physical attacks on cryptographic algorithms
• Cryptographic accelerators for Public-Key Cryptography
• Advanced topics i.e. software/hardware co-design for cryptography,
secure architectures, TRNGs etc.
Organization
The course consists of the lecture part and the assignment/project part. The lecture part will be given in the form of intensive lectures in three days. The students will then be given some assignments or projects to work on with some practical aspects of the course contents.
Literature
The following two books will be considered as background material: Niels
Ferguson, Bruce Schneier, Tadayoshi Kohno: Cryptography Engineering: Design
Principles and Practical Applications, Wiley 2012.
Stefan Mangard, Elisabeth Oswald and Thomas Popp: Power Analysis Attacks -
Revealing the Secrets of Smartcards, Springer, 2007.
In addition, a list of papers will be provided in the class.
Lecturers
The lectures will be given by Prof. Lejla Batina, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands
