Starter Kit: i.MX8 — SCA AES
A complete hardware-and-software training kit for learning to retrieve the secret key of an AES implementation running on dedicated ARMv8 instructions—built for hands-on, practical team training.
Knowledge Module


Leverage a provided motherboard plus two i.MX8 SOMs (System On Module), fully prepared to support side-channel and fault analysis out of the box.
Utilize a U-boot-based bare-metal setup designed to simplify development, code loading, and execution without OS overhead.
Follow step-by-step documentation to quickly set up the board, compile code, and load binaries for immediate analysis.
Execute electromagnetic leakage acquisition and dataset creation through guided notebooks, or use a ready-made eShard dataset to jump straight into the attack.
Reliable security requires in-house expertise.
The most valuable asset in security testing is knowledge. Instead of relying on outsourcing, we help you build that expertise internally. Through our modules and kits, we are putting our proven methodologies and hands-on experience directly on your team's desks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Knowledge Modules deliver advanced methodologies, attack catalogs, and reference datasets packaged as executable notebooks. Starter Kits are complete hardware-and-software training packages (including DUTs, SOMs, and firmware) designed for hands-on practice against physical targets.
The Modules function as premium add-ons requiring an active esDynamic account and a subscription to the corresponding target application (e.g., an SCA subscription to unlock SCA Advanced). You can request a single quote for the entire package at once.
Each Starter Kit includes the target hardware and custom firmware. To execute the campaigns, you will need esDynamic and the corresponding physical testing bench tied to that specific kit's attack vector.
While foundational cryptography knowledge helps, the kits are built for self-learning. Our step-by-step notebooks guide your team through the entire workflow, allowing you to internalize advanced skills at your own pace.
