In this blog post we introduce a toy cipher on which we demonstrate the principles of differential cryptanalysis. We implemented our attack in Python in order to raise the understanding of differential cryptanalysis.
Our colleagues Fabian Weber and Florian Schmid will be speaking at the automotive security conference “Secure Our Streets 2022” on the 15th September. The “Secure Our Streets 2022” is a conference on automotive and embedded cyber security, organized by the Automotive Security Research Group (ASRG). Our talk “PROBoter - Automating PCB analysis tasks to support penetration tests of embedded systems” is only one of many interesting topics on the agenda (more about the PROBoter in our blog ).
We are pleased to announce that we successfully completed our project for triple certification (ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and TISAX) in April 2022. Thus, the implementation of our always high demands on security, quality, and trustworthiness, related to our services, is now confirmed by an independent party. A high level of security, quality, and trustworthiness are of central importance to us to provide our services. To systematically implement and maintain this demand, a corresponding Integrated Management System (IMS) has already been established at SCHUTZWERK in the past.
The last part of the PROBoter series introduced the heart of the PROBoter framework - the hardware platform. The platform allows (semi) automated electrical probing of an unknown PCB which is usually a very time consuming and error prone task. This post focuses on methods to automate the initial analysis step of an embedded system - the visual analysis of the PCB(s) forming the device under test.
