About IDROMEL

The IDROMEL project aims to contribute to the design of secure systems against side-channel attacks based on power and electromagnetic observations, for a wide range of computing systems (from IoT devices to mobile phones). IDROMEL will investigate the impact of the processor micro-architecture on power and electromagnetic side-channel attacks as a key concern for the design of secure systems. IDROMEL will produce:

• Leakage sources characterization: a methodology to evaluate leakage sources from detailed description of the micro-architecture (grey-box approach) or from public information (black-box approach), with reproducible characterization based on public test vectors;
• Security assessment methods: formal code verification, leakage simulators and vulnerability analysis;
• Automated security tools: a compiler for the application of software countermeasures;
• Hardware hardening techniques: configurable design technique for the application of hardware countermeasures.
