Novel Approach for Power Analysis in Microcontrollers

Abstract

Security showcases a major breakthrough in the history of the embedded systems, as the connections move beyond computing devices, from intelligent traffic management systems to missile control system. The drift of Internet protocol from version 4 to version 6 has greatly expanded the number of devices that could be connected over the Internet and it is estimated that it could accommodate three times the number of devices currently existing in the world. With this growing pace in embedded systems, security issues are an area of great concern. Objective of this approach examines the vulnerability of the commonly used ARM processor to a simple distributive embedded security—power analysis attack for difference and also making the role of service provider active by modifying the conventional security model.
