Overview
This course explores the intersection of electromagnetic side channels and radio transceivers, demonstrating how the isolation of digital and analog components may not be sufficient for secure usage. The learning outcomes include understanding novel side-channel attacks that can compromise cryptography over significant distances. The course covers topics such as leaks in radio signals, electromagnetic side-channels, correlation attacks, wave modulation, mixed-signal chips, noise issues, and countermeasures. The teaching method involves a talk format presented by Giovanni Camurati and Marius Muench. This course is intended for individuals interested in cybersecurity, cryptography, hardware security, and side-channel attacks.
