Abstract Details

2018, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering and Applied Science: Electrical Engineering.
From a digital world where we make phones and twitter talk to each other, we are moving towards building a network where everyday objects communicate and share data among themselves. This platform known as Internet of Things (IoT) is a fast growing technology today where devices are connected via internet. In the next few years, the studies anticipate that billions of devices will be connected through internet and we will be heavily dependent on IoTs which will serve as the backbone of almost every sector[31]. Producing secure connections and secure devices is the need of the hour, and most of the devices as part of this connection are small-sized devices with low computational powers, while carrying private and sensitive information. Implementing low-level techniques to provide security such as WDDL[58], SDMLp[44] can be very expensive and affect its range of usage. The key objective of the thesis is to propose a Secure design methodology for such small devices which are used in today's high connectivity networks. This dissertation focuses on producing secure designs for small-to-medium sized Finite State Machines and the scope of the work is within the analysis of Power based side-channel attacks. The proposed algorithm for FSM state assignment, removes the reliance of its power consumption from the data carried within the FSM. The designer will be able to design the FSM with required security level at the cost of area. The thesis further discusses generation of state encodings for Low-power design without compromising on security. All the experiments have been performed on BenGen [27] and MCNC benchmarks [63] and the merit of the proposed algorithm has been proved.
