Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper presents a capacitor bank and a switch box as an on-chip Power Analysis Attack (PAA) countermeasure for embedded systems. This approach allows for the decoupling and isolation of individual sensitive and non-sensitive modules from the power supply. The random connections made by the switch box between functional modules and charged capacitors also contribute to the decorrelation between collected traces and the operations being performed by sensitive modules. A DC-DC converter is also present to generate a stable and suitable supply voltage. The design was simulated using 65 nm CMOS technology in Cadence, with an implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Sbox as a test module. Initial results showed a reduction in the effectiveness of the Correlation Power Analysis (CPA) attack on the Sbox module.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
