ABSTRACT
In recent years, real-time embedded systems (RTESs) started to be utilized in safety and reliability critical areas, which made the overlooked security issues of RTESs, especially confidentiality of the communication, a serious problem. Therefore, it is very important to make sure that the critical RTES communication is secure even in the presence of malicious attacks. Differential power analysis attacks (DPAs) posed serious threats to confidentiality protection techniques, namely, cryptographic algorithms, on embedded platforms. In this work, we analyze the robustness of AES secret keys in RTESs with two representative scheduling algorithms, namely the earliest deadline first scheduling (EDF) and rate-monotonic scheduling (RMS). Experimental results are presented in the end of this paper to demonstrate the concept.
