Timing Attack demo The Timing Attack demo shows the importance of securely implementing a PIN verification. If a PIN verification is implemented with operations which are not time-invariant - for example an if-else construction - it is possible to identify when an incorrect PIN digit is being compared by observing the timing information of the corresponding EM side-channel measurement. By iterating through all possible values of a PIN digit the correct character will be identified in a maximum of 10 attempts.   To make the PIN query secure, a time-invariant comparison has to be implemented. For example, a bitwise XOR comparison and subsequent OR operation for all PIN digits, ensures the same time is taken for all possible comparisons. This scheme is illustrated in         the block diagram.                      Simple Power Analysis demo The RSA-Algorithm implemented in the Simple Power Analysis demo application is reduced to a simple 8-Bit implementation for illustrative purposes. The physical smart card interface used is contact-based.   By monitoring the voltage drop across a shunt resistor it is possible to measure the power consumption of an RSA operation on a digital oscilloscope. Observation of the resulting measurements reveal that it is possible to visually distinguish  single square operations from square and multiply operations. By iteratively logging this sequence of operations, the bits of the exponent, that is the secret key, can be directly identified.   By using countermeasures like the square and always multiply algorithm, the decoding of the exponent bits can be prevented and the key protected. The square and always multiply algorithm is illustrated in the block diagram.           Fault Attack demo The Fault Attack demo shows what can happen at software execution, if a flashlight is fired on a decapsulated chip which has no security measures.   With simple tools – a mechanical grinding tool and some chemical etchant - it is possible to expose the surface of the chip and crudely inject photons into the sensitive silicon substrate.   In this case the flashlight causes a skip in the execution of the PIN verification code if the flash is discharged close to the surface at the correct moment.   In normal function expiration the UserPin is either correct or incorrect and access to the data is granted or denied accordingly. With a successful flashlight attack it doesn’t matter which value for UserPin is entered - after several tries the attacker skips the query and has access to the secret data.                     RFID Relay Attack demo TheRFID Relay Attack demo demonstrates a new paradigm in relay attacks in the context of software emulated smartcards on mobile devices. Previous conditions about proximity of the attacker to the victim and the time when the victim is approached, are negated. With a software emulated smartcard on a mobile device an attacker can intercept and relay the transaction of a potential victim remotely. This new attack paradigm greatly enhances the value of this attack for criminals, and consequently will result in greater malware development efforts.   Additional Information on the individual attacks:     C03

What is an IoT Gateway? An IoT Gateway is essential part of a Trust enabled, power-efficient IoT deployment in buildings, homes, street and industrial sites. The low-power foot-print is achieved by having low-power, low-cost sensor nodes connecting over low-power, shorter range radio networks. The IoT Gateway bridges between these wireless sensor networks and the enterprise or carrier networks.   Furthermore, the IoT gateway also provides a platform for local data filtering and decision making. This is context aware computing. In near future, the cost of processing data will be less than the cost of moving data across a network and less than the cost of data storage. It makes sense to distribute the intelligence and process/filer data close to the data source. In this session, one of the first public demo’s of LS1021A, NXP will demonstrate an ready-to-use IoT gateway platform together with sensor and cloud connectivity. Value Propositions    Coupling IoT to SDN and Big Data. LS10121A IoT Gateway   Customer-premise IoT Gateways – Industrial, Enterprise, Home, Street-side     Distributed/Local Intelligence for real-time decision making and management (context aware computing)                                                                     High-availability, Trust Enabled networking, highly power efficient      NXP Recommends: Product Link LS1021A-IoT Gateway Reference Design LS1021A-IoT Gateway Reference Design | NXP
