Ethical hacking and vulnerability assessments are gaining rapid momentum as academic
fields of study. Still, it is sometimes unclear what research areas are included in the …

We present an approach and a tool to answer the need for effective, generic, and easily
applicable protections against side-channel attacks. The protection mechanism is based on …

Side-channel attacks are performed on increasingly complex targets, starting to threaten
superscalar CPUs supporting a complete operating system. The difficulty of both assessing …

The adoption of WebAssembly has rapidly increased in the last few years as it provides a
fast and safe model for program execution. However, WebAssembly is not exempt from …

Code polymorphism is an approach to efficiently address the challenge of automatically
applying the hiding of sensitive information leakage, as a way to protect cryptographic …

We present a generic framework for runtime code polymorphism, applicable to a broad
range of computing platforms including embedded systems with low computing resources …

Embedded devices used in process industries are vulnerable to a variety of attacks due to its
large number of deployments to reduce the measurement and process complexity. The …

Power consumption and electromagnetic emissions analyses are well established attack
avenues for secret values extraction in a large range of embedded devices …

Combining countermeasures against side-channel attacks represents a promising approach
to defend against powerful attackers. Existing works on this topic show that the hope for a …

Side-channel attacks are a prominent threat to the security of embedded systems. To
perform them, an adversary evaluates the goodness of fit of a set of key-dependent power …
