Analyze Leakage In Embedded Devices

Side-channel validation requires controlled execution of cryptographic code while capturing physical emissions such as power consumption or electromagnetic radiation. The workflow combines device control, triggering, acquisition, and signal processing so evaluators can observe whether sensitive operations produce measurable leakage during real execution.

Programming patterns and implementation choices can then be reviewed against measured behavior using repeated acquisitions, statistical checks, and cryptanalytic analysis. This process helps engineers identify time regions associated with potential information disclosure and reduce confidentiality and integrity weaknesses in security-critical embedded devices.

Side-Channel Leakage Mitigation Solution

Leakage mitigation begins by capturing repeatable physical traces from a device under test and analyzing them through acquisition, signal processing, and cryptanalytic workflows that reveal sensitive implementation details. Keysight’s Side Channel Analysis solution helps engineers evaluate embedded devices, chips, and smart cards through high-resolution power and electromagnetic emissions analysis, including differential power analysis. Secure programming and implementation practices further reduce leakage and fault-induced weaknesses.
