Hardware security and its adversaries

Research output: Chapter in Book / Report / Conference proceeding › Conference contribution › Academic › peer-review

Abstract

Cryptographic reasoning has embraced the idea of "provable security", however, as soon as crypto protocols and primitives are implemented in SW/HW, security and trust become relative to the attacker who may also attempt to embed Trojans, malicious firmware, and exploit implementation vulnerabilities and side channels. Cryptographic reasoning has the implicit assumption of idealized trust in HW. A closer look at HW security shows a more fine-grained understanding of adversarial capabilities with a more realistic understanding of what is meant by trust in HW; a closer look also reveals HW security's own implicit security assumptions.
