DPA Workstation™ Testing Platform

PRODUCT BRIEF
DPA Workstation™ Testing Platform
The DPA Workstation testing platform evaluates device resistance to side-channel attacks, including SPA, DPA, HO-DPA,
and EMA. Side-channel attacks are low-cost, non-invasive methods that enable attackers to extract secret cryptographic
keys from electronic devices during normal operations.
The DPA Workstation testing platform is used by cryptographic device vendors, system integrators, and testing labs to assess
the robustness of side-channel attack countermeasures. The platform was developed by the recognized leader in SPA and
DPA countermeasures and is regularly updated to incorporate the latest advances in side-channel analysis techniques.
The platform is useful for non-invasive side-channel testing of complex systems and SoC-based designs. Devices that can be
analyzed by the DPA Workstation include:
• Mobile computing devices
• Payment systems, Point of Sale terminals (POS)
• Authentication products
• Embedded and general purpose CPUs
• Content protection, Pay TV
• ASIC and FPGA
• Secure communication devices
• Smart cards
• Near field communication (NFC)

DPA WORKSTATION TESTING PLATFORM CAPABILITIES
Data Collection
The scriptable DPA Workstation data collection environment automates device interactions and
data collection. A variety of connection interfaces, communication protocols, and sampling
equipment including RF receiver and EM probes for EM emissions are supported.
Signal Visualization
The DPA Workstation Show tool enables efficient signal navigation and visualization, offering quick
operator feedback at all stages of the analysis process. It is an interactive visualization and signal
processing tool for isolating signals of interest from noise and interference. Filters can be applied to
power/EM traces being captured in real time, or on pre-recorded data.
Signal Processing
Includes alignment and signal compression tools for improving the quality of collected data.
Leakage Analysis
A comprehensive toolkit performs leakage analysis and key recovery for a variety of
cryptographic implementations (AES, RSA, ECC, DES, SHA, and others).
The DPA Workstation testing platform includes wizard-like tools, as well as scripts to guide users through workflows,
providing extraordinary visualization and analysis.
