dma-sec has successfully delivered the first edition of its Hardware Security course, organised for companies in collaboration with the Spanish National Cryptologic Centre (CCN).
The course is designed to give participants practical, transferable skills for protecting cryptographic implementations in real product environments, bridging the gap between the academic understanding of hardware attacks and the day-to-day security needs of industry.
By the end of the training, participants are able to:
- Understand hardware security threats — in particular side-channel analysis (SCA) and fault injection (FI) — and their impact on cryptographic devices.
- Identify sources of information leakage in real implementations.
- Carry out practical attacks on unprotected AES implementations in order to understand how they work and how far they reach.
- Design and implement effective countermeasures against SCA and FI, including hiding and masking techniques.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of those countermeasures.
These objectives are directly aligned with current industry needs in terms of product security, regulatory compliance and risk reduction, making the course especially relevant for companies that develop or integrate cryptographic hardware.
We are very pleased with how this first edition went, and we look forward to running future editions of the course.
