Abstract: Using FPGA hardware to implement encryption/decryption modules can help meet the cryptography requirement of embedded systems and boost system performance by offloading computation to FPGA hardware. Thus, using FPGA hardware to perform encryption/decryption within embedded applications is an increasingly popular trend.However, as FPGA hardware performs cryptographic operations, some information is leaked in the form of power consumption and electromagnetic radiation. Side channel attack utilizes such information to extract the secret keys hidden inside FPGA hardware. In this paper, we will build an FPGA test-bed platform for testing and analyzing FPGA implementations of RSA, DES, and AES modules. In the future, this platform will enable us to develop a solution for evaluating the security strength of FPGA cryptographic modules against side channel attacks.
