Power analysis attacks exploit vulnerabilities in smart cards to reveal confidential information. These cards play a vital role in various sectors, such as banking, mobile communications, pay TV, and electronic signatures, making their security paramount. The book delves into the implications of these attacks and emphasizes the need for robust protective measures to safeguard sensitive data across these critical applications.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Smart Card Research and Advanced Applications, CARDIS 2012, held in Graz, Austria, in November 2012. The 18 revised full papers presented together with an invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on Java card security, protocols, side-channel attacks, implementations, and implementations for resource-constrained devices.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Workshop on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems, CHES 2010, held in Santa Barbara, USA during August 17-20, 2010. This year it was co-located with the 30th International Cryptology Conference (CRYPTO). The book contains 2 invited talks and 30 revised full papers which were carefully reviewed and selected from 108 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on low cost cryptography, efficient implementation, side-channel attacks and countermeasures, tamper resistance, hardware trojans, PUFs and RNGs.
