Side-channel AttacK User Reference Architecture board SAKURA-G

Abstract

A new cryptographic standard FPGA board SAKURA-G equipped with a 45-nm Xilinx Spartan-6 was developed to evaluate the security of cryptographic circuits against physical attacks and to measure the hardware performance of encryption algorithms. In addition to its rich array of capabilities, improved power analysis functionality over previous standard boards SASEBO-GII and SASEBO-G is demonstrated thorough CPA (Correlation Power Analysis) on an AES circuit.
