Ascon SCA software and hardware databases

<h2><strong>Software and hardware side-channel analysis databases for attack on Ascon AEAD</strong><br>&nbsp;</h2><p>This repository contains datasets collected for side-channel analysis attack on Ascon AEAD.</p><p>The repository is divided into two folders, one for software side-channel analysis and one for hardware side-channel analysis:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>- cw.zip</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; - ascon_collect.ipynb : Jupyter Notebook used to collect the traces for the unprotected Ascon implementation</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp;ascon_protected_collect.ipynb : Jupyter Notebook used to collect the traces for the protected Ascon implementation</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; - simpleserial-ascon : Ascon firmwares used to collect the traces</p><p>- hw.zip</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; - ascon_g_protected</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; - test_ascon.py : Script to test the protected Ascon implementation</p><p>&nbsp;
