Deep Learning for Side-Channel Analysis
A three-course program covering deep learning fundamentals for side-channel attacks, CNN-based analysis, and advanced techniques including hyperparameter optimization and non-profiled deep learning attacks.
Module Overview
Get a general introduction to deep learning techniques and how they can be applied to profiled side-channel attacks. You'll explore why deep learning improves side-channel analysis and how these techniques compare to traditional approaches.
Learn how Convolutional Neural Networks can improve side-channel analysis, leveraging their translation invariance property to overcome trace desynchronization. You'll learn how to apply CNNs to strengthen your attacks.
Take your deep learning skills further with hyperparameter search to optimize your side-channel network, sensitivity analysis to detect points of interest, non-profiled deep learning attacks, and deep learning-based leakage assessment.
Over 10 Years of Hands-On Expertise.
Effective security testing comes from the combination of the right tools, deep technical knowledge, and the people who know how to apply them. eShard has spent over 10 years developing all three, and our coaching programs put that same expertise directly in your hands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most courses can be delivered online. Some modules, particularly those involving lab equipment, require onsite presence. Onsite training can be held at eShard's headquarters in Bordeaux, France, or at your own premises. The delivery format can be discussed and agreed upon before the final proposal.
Prerequisites vary by module. Some courses include introductory content for participants new to a topic, while others assume prior knowledge of cryptography or security testing. Each module page indicates the expected background.
Most programs accommodate 3 trainees per coach. Based on our experience, this ratio ensures everyone progresses at the same pace and gets the most out of the session. Contact us to discuss larger groups or custom arrangements.
Yes. Training programs are tailored to each team's technical level and objectives. If your team works on specific targets or protocols, this can be factored into the program before the session begins.
