Side-Channel Analysis on Elliptic Curve Cryptography
A two-course program covering attack vectors on public key cryptosystems, then progressing to state-of-the-art side-channel analysis techniques targeting ECC implementations.
Module Overview
Get an overview of the testing methodology and main attack techniques used against public key cryptosystems. You'll learn how RSA and ECC implementations are structured, which parts are vulnerable to attack, and why. The practical component gives you hands-on experience running an attack, including the challenge of working with long data traces.
Learn state-of-the-art attack techniques targeting ECC implementations, including differential attacks on scalar multiplication, horizontal analysis, cross-correlation attacks, and attacks on the final multiplication step of ECDSA.
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.
