| − | This tutorial will demonstrate how to perform a profiling attack against the same AES implementation we've been using. To begin with we'll be using the same Hamming Weight (HW) assumption as previous attacks, although later we'll look into an attack without such assumptions. | + | {{Warningbox|This tutorial has been updated for ChipWhisperer 5 release. If you are using 4.x.x see the "V4" or link in the sidebar.}} |
| | | | |
| − | Under this assumption, we are attempting to accurately determine the what leakage corresponds to the ''Hamming Weight'' of the sensitive value being targeted. This requires us to have similar knowledge to the CPA attack, mainly we are making an assumption that the system does indeed leak the Hamming Weight (HW).

| − | Note that unlike the previous attack, we will require ''two'' acquisition campaigns. We must first create a template, which means we'll need a system which we control (or at least know the key for). In real life this would typically mean using another copy of the protected device; e.g. you have a protected device, but you buy another copy which you control. We use the copy we control to characterize the leakage, before applying what we have learned onto the real device with an unknown key.

| − | As mentioned, you will need to perform ''two'' capture campaigns. This tutorial uses a simple script that ships with the ChipWhisperer Capture software as the building block. The easiest method of accomplishing the trace capture is as follows:

| − | <li>Close & reopen the capture software (to clear out any previous connection which may be invalid).</li>

| + | |

| + | |
| − | <li><p>The script will automatically connect to the capture hardware and run 2 example traces. You should see something that looks like the following screen:</p>
| + | |
| − | <p>[[File:capture.png|image]]</p></li>
| + | |
| − | <li><p>Change to the ''General Settings'' tab, and adjust the ''Key/Text Pattern'' to send a random encryption key along with a random plaintext. This is shown in the following diagram:</p>
| + | |
| − | <p>[[File:campaignrandrand.png|image]]</p></li>
| + | |
| − | <li>Save the project now, giving it a name indicating the '''key and text is random'''. For example you could call it <code>tut_randkey_randplain.cwp</code>. Note by saving the project ''before'' running the capture you will force all trace data to be saved into a directory with the same name. This will make it easier to find the data at a later time.</li>
| + | |
| − | <li>Change the number of traces to be ''1000'': more traces are needed to form the profile. In this case 1000 is a very small capture, however for this unprotected implementation will be sufficient. An interesting experiment is to see how using more or less traces impacts your templates!</li>
| + | |
| − | <li>Hit the ''Capture Many'' button (M in a green triangle) to start the capture process. You will see each new trace plotted in the waveform display. Once the capture is complete, save the project file again.</li>

| − | <li>Exit the capture application, again being sure to first save the project.</li></ol>

| − | # Follow steps 1-3 of the previous section. Leave the ''Key/Text Pattern'' as default, where the encryption key is fixed and the plaintext is random.

| − | # Save the project now in the same directory as the <code>.cwp</code> file from the previous section, giving it a name indicating the key is '''fixed''' and text is '''random'''. For example you could call it <code>tut_fixedkey_randplain.cwp</code>, again saving it in the same directory as the previous file.

| − | # Change the number of traces to be ''20'': by comparison the profiling attack will require less attack traces compared to the CPA attack. | + | |
| − | # Hit the ''Capture Many'' button (M in a green triangle) to start the capture process. You will see each new trace plotted in the waveform display. Once the capture is complete, save the project file again.

| − | == Generating the Template == | + | == ChipWhisperer Nano Target == |
| | | | |
| − | The first step in the attack is to generate the template. Again for generating the template this typically requires access to a system almost identical to the device being attacked. It is assumed that the actual device differs from the device being attacked, but in our example we'll be using the same device.

This tutorial will introduce you to measuring the power consumption of a device under attack. It will demonstrate how you can view the difference between assembly instructions. In ChipWhisperer 5 Release, the software documentation is now held outside the wiki. See links below.
