Hardware Security Training course introduces participants to a variety of cryptographic processor and processing overhead, side-channel attacks, physically unclonable functions, hardware-based true random number generator, watermarking of IPS, FPGA security, passive and active metering and hardware based secure program execution.
By taking the hardware security training, you will learn the basics of hardware security and hardware cryptography. Basic topics such as crypto system, cryptanalysis, ciphers, and data encryption standards (DES) are covered. Moreover, you will be introduced to the basics of VLSI and hardware devices important in computer security such as CMOS, PMOS and VLSI design cycles.
