Hello All, If you are in the Houston, TX area you might want to attend the Colloquium titled "The recent developments in cryptographic hardware" hosted by Rice University.
By: Dr. Naofumi Homma, Assistant Professor of the Graduate School of Information Sciences. From: Tohoku University,Japan When:Thursday, May 31, 2007 Time: 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM Where: 1064 Duncan Hall, Rice University, 6100 Main St, Houston, Texas, USA Host: Dr. Joseph Cavallaro Event URL: http://www.citi.rice.edu/calendar.cfm?EventRecord=8164 Abstract: Cryptographic processors are becoming the standard way to enforce data-usage policies. With the rapid expansion of broadband networks and the diffusion of high-performance digital consumer products in conjunction with advancing VLSI technologies, we have various data and secret information in all areas of our daily lives. Cryptography is an indispensable technology to protect such data from threats, and thus, cryptographic hardware is integrated in many high-tech electronic devices. Recently, however, new attacks on cryptographic hardware have appeared using side-channel information such as power dissipation, electromagnetic radiation or operating times. These attacks using side-channel information are the hottest topic in this research area. This talk will start with an overview of cryptographic hardware, and then introduce side-channel attacks on cryptographic hardware. Some recent research results will also be presented regarding the side-channel attacks. _______________________________________________ FDE mailing list [email protected] http://www.xml-dev.com/mailman/listinfo/fde
