Differential Power Analysis

Overview Cryptosystem designers frequently assume that secrets will be manipulated in closed, reliable computing environments. Unfortunately, actual computers and microchips leak information about the operations they process. This paper examines specific methods for analyzing power consumption measurements to find secret keys from tamper resistant devices. We also discuss approaches for building cryptosystems that can operate securely in existing hardware that leaks information.

Moore's Law to roll on for another decade

Designers are going to have to add technologies such as strained silicon to their chips and to redesign transistors to control energy consumption. Intel, like other companies, is using the ISSCC conference to promote ideas for reducing power...

AMD experiments make better chips

Further thinning, without creative changes, will cause electricity to leak, leading to lower battery life, excessive power consumption, and potentially dangerous levels of heat inside computers. Thin gate oxides improve performance; however, thin...

3G phones ARMed to fight hackers and viruses

Among the power-saving techniques, IEM examines code coming into a processor and determines whether the processor speed needs to be increased, which would mean an increase in energy consumption, or whether it can be slowed.

Mobiles could get atomic clocks

Atomic clocks long have provided the most accurate measurements of time and frequency but also have traditionally been large - up to two meters in height - as well as power-hungry and expensive to build, according to NIST.

Devil's Advocate: Buying secrets on eBay

In the days of the Cold War, I used to draw comfort from people's apparent inability to keep secrets. If you do buy a computer that gives you entry details into a large company, it seems you could go the whole hog and assume the company's identity.

Devil's Advocate: To trust or not to trust machines?

Only recently, the nuclear reprocessing works at Sellafield suffered a major leak. The curious thing is that the plant's instrumentation showed at least 100 warnings over six months, indicating that it had sprung a major leak.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
