Abstract: A method and apparatus for analyzing side-channel security vulnerabilities in a digital device. A first time sequence of measurements of side-channel related phenomena of the digital device, such as power draw or electromagnetic emissions is obtained. A second time sequence of debug outputs of the digital device, such as program counter contents or other device processor or register states, is obtained. The first time sequence and the second time sequence are obtained based on a common time reference, and thus correlated in time. A controller can provide a common timing signal to measurement equipment obtaining the first time sequence and to a debug tool obtaining the second time sequence, and the common time reference can be correspond to the common timing signal.

Abstract: A system and method for communicating data between a first software and a second software located on first and second devices, respectively, has a hardware driver and memory associated with each device. Each communication of data from the first software to the second software allocates memory to manage data to be communicated from the first software to the second software, provides memory allocation information to the hardware driver associated with the first software, and transmits the data from the first hardware driver to the second hardware driver for delivery to the second software via the memory associated with the second software.

Abstract: A secure generic encryption system for nonsecure datapaths comprises a format-specific adaptation layer/data path for receiving and processing nonsecure content data; an authentication engine located within a security perimeter and coupled to an external communication interface for authentication and supplying the format-specific adaptation layer/data path, located outside the security perimeter, with an output signal indicating whether authentication is successful; and a generic encryption module located within the security perimeter and coupled (1) to the authentication engine for receiving from the authentication engine initialization vectors, encryption keys, and the output signal indicating whether authentication is successful, and (2) to the format-specific adaptation layer/data path for (a) receiving a read signal from the format-specific adaptation layer/data path, and (b) providing the format-specific adaptation layer/data path with a data-available signal to indicate whether data is available to be

Abstract: An embodiment of a method and apparatus for ciphering data. Data is provided for ciphering. The data is ciphered in a plurality of steps. For each step, determining an encoding for error detection of the data being processed within the step. Determining an output error detection encoding for the step. Processing data of the round to provide output error detection encoding. Then, verifying the encoding against a determined output error detection encoding.

Abstract: What is disclosed is an embodiment of a method for ciphering data. Data is provided for ciphering thereof. The data is ciphered in a plurality of steps. For each step, an encoding for error detection of the data for being processed within the step is determined. An output error detection encoding for the step is determined. The data for being processed within the round is processed to provide output error detection encoding which is then verified against the determined output error detection encoding. When the output error detection encoding is other than same as the determined error detection encoding, providing a signal indicative of an error within the cipher process.

Abstract: In a module for connecting and distributing optical fibers, intended for use in an optical distribution frame, the first end of each fiber is connected to a connecting socket and the second end of each fiber is connected to an optical distribution or transmission cable. The module includes an arm for guiding each fiber fixed by its first end to a support for a row of connecting sockets and connected by its second end to a cassette for coiling up each fiber. The cassette is articulated to the arm.

Abstract: The distribution frame and the method relate to a telecommunication installation in which optical fiber links are connected to connection members formed by sockets distributed on the front face of at least one distribution rack and in which jumpers provide the links between the connection members to which the links are individually connected. A robotized set of specialized tools is provided: to mount a plug on one end of a jumper reserve stored in coiled form; to position the plug in a connection member of a socket; to fit the jumper uncoiled from this member as far as another member; to adjust the length and to cut a section of uncoiled jumper; and to mount a plug on the end of the section and to position this plug in the other member.
