We study power-supply side-channel leakage on FPGAs and ASICs through hardware experimentaion and simulation. Our goal is discovery of new side-channel vulnerabilites along with techniques and EDA tools for coutermeasures in embedded systems. We are espcially focused on security for low-power embedded systems.
