The Side-channel Metrics Cheat Sheet

Ranks “cheat Sheet”

This is a “cheat sheet”, which means that it consists of information packaged in a concise and efficient way so that it can easily be used as a quick reference. The topic is ranks of elliptic curves, mostly over Q. This is a slightly revised version of the handout I wrote as a supplement to my survey talk “Distributions of Ranks of Elliptic Curves” at MSRI’s Connections for Women: Arithmetic St...

Side-Channel Vulnerability Metrics: SVF vs. CSV

Recently two papers have been published on empirically measuring side-channel leakage in processors. The first paper introduced a framework for measuring side-channel leakage called “Side-Channel Vulnerability Factor” (SVF). SVF used phase correlation between victim and attacker programs to quantify leakage. A subsequent paper opposed some of the claims made in the SVF paper and introduced anot...

Privacy Guidelines for Internet of Things: A Cheat Sheet

This document presents 30 different privacy guidelines that can be used to both design and assess IoT applications and IoT middleware platforms. These guidelines can be broadly categorised into eight categories, namely, MINIMIZE ( ), HIDE ( ), SEPARATE ( ), AGGREGATE ( ), INFORM ( ), CONTROL ( ), ENFORCE ( ), DEMONSTRATE ( ). This document uses the following structure to introduce the each priv...

Improved Channel Estimation for DVB-T2 Systems by Utilizing Side Information on OFDM Sparse Channel Estimation

The second generation of digital video broadcasting (DVB-T2) standard utilizes orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system to reduce and to compensate the channel effects by utilizing its estimation. Since wireless channels are inherently sparse, it is possible to utilize sparse representation (SR) methods to estimate the channel. In addition to sparsity feature of the channel, the...
