This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Smart Card Research and Advanced Applications, CARDIS 2012, held in Graz, Austria, in November 2012. The 18 revised full papers presented together with an invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on Java card security, protocols, side-channel attacks, implementations, and implementations for resource-constrained devices.

Power analysis attacks allow the extraction of secret information from smart cards. Smart cards are used in many applications including banking, mobile communications, pay TV, and electronic signatures. In all these applications, the security of the smart cards is of crucial importance.

Power Analysis Attacks: Revealing the Secrets of Smart Cards is the first comprehensive treatment of power analysis attacks and countermeasures. Based on the principle that the only way to defend against power analysis attacks is to understand them, this book explains how power analysis attacks work. Using many examples, it discusses simple and differential power analysis as well as advanced techniques like template attacks. Furthermore, the authors provide an extensive discussion of countermeasures like shuffling, masking, and DPA-resistant logic styles. By analyzing the pros and cons of the different countermeasures, this volume allows practitioners to decide how to protect smart cards.
