Profiled Side-Channel Attacks
A focused course on profiled side-channel analysis, covering the principles behind template attacks and their practical application against symmetric algorithm implementations.
Module Overview


Learn the principles behind profiled side-channel analysis and the background knowledge needed to perform it in practice. You'll work through a learning phase using known or chosen secrets, followed by an exploitation phase against a target implementation. This hands-on approach gives you a realistic sense of the effort and precision required to carry out template attacks effectively.
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.
