This repository contains the source code for the papers PROLEAD - A Probing-Based Hardware Leakage Detection Tool and PROLEAD_SW - Probing-Based Software Leakage Detection for ARM Binaries. For a quick start, we recommend to watch the quick start guides on our Youtube Channel or to read the Hardware beginner's guide or Software beginner's guide .
We are excited to announce the release of PROLEADv3, an enhanced and extended version of the original PROLEAD tool. This new version includes several significant features:
- Evaluation of side-channel resistance under the RR d-probing model
- Assessment of security against combined adversaries capable of injecting faults and probing wires
- Support for .json files for configuration and library management, replacing the previous custom file format
- More granular settings to precisely define adversarial capabilities
We acknowledge that only a few examples are currently available and that full documentation is still in progress. We're working to provide both as quickly as possible. In the meantime, if you have any questions about using PROLEAD, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
PROLEAD allows to analyze the robust probing security of masked implementations provided as a Verilog netlist or ARM binary. In particular, PROLEAD supports the following features:
-
Evaluation of masked hardware designs (Verilog netlists)
- Consideration of glitches and transitions (simultaneously)
- Univariate and multivariate adversaries
-
Evaluation of masked software designs (ARM binaries)
- Consideration of various micro-architectural effects (simultaneously)
- Neighbor Leakage Effects
- Bit-wise Interaction Leakages
- Memory Overwrite Effects
- Memory Remnant Effecs
- Pipeline Register Overwrites
- Pipeline Forwarding Effects
- CPU-independent leakage detection
- Consideration of various micro-architectural effects (simultaneously)
All information about the features and use of PROLEAD can be found in the Wiki.
Some selected examples can be found in the examples folder. More information regarding the examples can be found in the Wiki. We will provide more examples soon.
Please contact Nicolai Müller (nicolai.mueller@rub.de) if you have any questions, comments, if you found a bug that should be corrected, or if you want to reuse PROLEAD or parts of it for your own research projects.
