论文摘要
对小嵌入式设备进行全面的侧向通道分析评估是一个以其可变性和复杂性而闻名的过程。在现实世界实验设置中，结果在很大程度上受到大量参数的影响，这些参数在没有反复试验的情况下不容易调整，并且在很大程度上依赖于专业安全分析师的经验。在本文中，我们主张使用称为六sigma（6σ）的现有统计方法用于此目的的侧向通道分析优化。这种著名的方法通常在其他工业领域（例如生产和质量工程）中使用，以减少工业过程的可变性。我们提出了一种自定义的六sigma方法，即使可以进行较不受欢迎的安全性分析，也可以为侧通道分析过程至关重要的不同变量选择最佳值。此外，我们展示了我们的方法如何有助于改善侧通道分析过程中的不同阶段。
Performing a comprehensive side-channel analysis evaluation of small embedded devices is a process known for its variability and complexity. In real-world experimental setups, the results are largely influenced by a huge amount of parameters that are not easily adjusted without trial and error and are heavily relying on the experience of professional security analysts. In this paper, we advocate the use of an existing statistical methodology called Six Sigma (6σ) for side-channel analysis optimization for this purpose. This well-known methodology is commonly used in other industrial fields, such as production and quality engineering, to reduce the variability of industrial processes. We propose a customized Six Sigma methodology, which enables even a less-experienced security analysis to select optimal values for the different variables that are critical for the side-channel analysis procedure. Moreover, we show how our methodology helps in improving different phases in the side-channel analysis process.
