  • Publication number: 20240113856
    Abstract: The present invention provides an encryption determining method. The method includes the following steps: receiving a side channel signal; generating a filtered side channel signal by filtering noise within the side channel signal; generating a phasor signal by utilizing a filter to covert the filtered side channel signal; locating the encrypted segment by calculating a periodicity of the phasor signal utilizing a standard deviation window; extracting at least one encrypted characteristic from the encrypted segment; and generating an encryption analytic result by recognizing the at least one encrypted characteristic according to a characteristic recognition model; wherein the encryption analytic result includes a position of the encrypted segment within the side channel signal, and an encryption type corresponding to the side channel signal. The present invention is able to automatically and efficiently locate the encryption segment and analyze the encryption type corresponding to the side channel signal.

  • Publication number: 20230214492
    Abstract: A computer system for failing a secure boot in a case tampering event comprises a microcontroller unit (MCU); a trusted platform module (TPM), for generating random bytes for a secure boot of the computer system; a bootloader, for storing information comprising the random bytes in the MCU and at least one hardware of the computer system and performing the secure boot, wherein the TPM is comprised in the bootloader; an operating system (OS), for performing the secure boot; and at least one sensor, coupled to the MCU, for detecting a case tampering event, and transmitting a signal for triggering a deletion of the random bytes, if the case tampering event happens. The MCU performs the operation of deleting the random bytes stored in the MCU and the at least one hardware according to a power supply, in response to the signal.
