No Place to Hide - Contactless Probing of Secret Data on FPGAs

No Place to Hide - Contactless Probing of Secret Data on FPGAs

Explore contactless probing techniques for extracting secret data from SRAM-based FPGAs in this 20-minute conference talk from CHES 2016. Delve into conventional encryption methods, optical contactless probing setups, and parallel implementation strategies. Gain insights into the characterization process and potential security implications for FPGA designs. Learn about the vulnerabilities of SRAM-based FPGAs to optical side-channel attacks and understand the importance of implementing robust countermeasures to protect sensitive information stored on these devices.
