Hardware Security through the Lens of Dr ML

Friday, May 10, 2024

In modern secured systems, the reliance on hardware as roots of trust is increasing in leaps and bounds. It is a pressing question, how does the hardware security issues get influenced by the developments in machine learning techniques.

In this talk, we provide a detailed overview on the intersection of ML and hardware security. To be more specific, we start with describing how Machine Learning (ML)/Deep Learning (DL) can be leveraged to perform advanced side channel attacks on cryptographic implementations. Subsequently, we present deep learning based methodologies for leakage assessment due to fault attacks on crypto-devices.

Finally, we present a state-of-the-art overview on the threats of machine learning in modeling promising hardware security primitives like Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs).
