Differential Power Analysis: A Serious Threat to FPGA Security
Differential Power Analysis (DPA) implies measuring the supply current of a cipher-circuit in an attempt to uncover part of a cipher key. Cryptographic security gets compromised if the current waveforms obtained correlate with those from a hypothetical power model of the circuit. As FPGAs are becoming integral parts of embedded systems and increasingly popular for cryptographic applications and...
متن کاملOptimized Charge Pumps for Subthreshold Operation
Over the last decade, the use of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) has grown from the design verification of digital systems to a wide variety of commercial and space applications for which low power consumption and re-programmability are paramount. To address the issue of low power, researchers have reported FPGAs incorporating a variety of design techniques to improve energy efficiency. ...
متن کاملA High Efficiency Low-Voltage Soft Switching DC–DC Converter for Portable Applications
This paper presents a novel control method to improve the efficiency of low-voltage DC-DC converters at light loads. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) converters have poor efficiencies at light loads, while pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control is more efficient for the same cases. Switching losses constitute a major portion of the total power loss at light loads. To decrease the switching losses...
متن کاملLow-cost Vector Network Analyzer for Biomedical Applications
A low-cost and portable vector network analyzer (VNA) which covered operating frequency between 1MHz to 3GHz is used for vector reflection coefficient and standing wave ratio (swr) of the various microstrip antennas. This paper presents measurements of various ultra wideband (uwb) microstrip antennas for applications in biomedical field. Selection of antenna is an important key for detection of...
متن کاملSecure FPGA Design by Filling Unused Spaces
Nowadays there are different kinds of attacks on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). As FPGAs are used in many different applications, its security becomes an important concern, especially in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Hardware Trojan Horse (HTH) insertion is one of the major security threats that can be implemented in unused space of the FPGA. This unused space is unavoidable to ...
