Scatter Attacks for Side-Channel Analysis
A two-course program introducing the Scatter attack and its second-order extension, covering how to defeat jitter, misalignment, and masking countermeasures in side-channel traces.
Module Overview
Discover the Scatter attack technique, designed to defeat jitter and misalignment in side-channel traces. You'll practice on both aligned and misaligned traces from a real use case to see how the technique performs.
Learn the principles of second-order Scatter analysis, a technique that threatens implementations combining masking, jitter, and shuffling. Guided through an attack on a masked AES implementation, you'll practice second-order Scatter attacks across different trace sets and attack paths until you recover the keys.
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.
