Side-Channel Attacks with Quantum Sensing (SCA-QS)

  1. Status: Project phase

Description

The research project “Side-Channel Attacks Using Quantum Sensors” (SCA-QS) aims to identify potential new attack vectors on microchips using quantum sensors. In principle, quantum sensors (QS) have the potential to measure physical quantities with higher resolution, greater sensitivity, or otherwise more accurately. The project will therefore evaluate the suitability of various physical quantum sensing approaches for side-channel attacks (SCA) on microchips, which will also be analyzed in comparison with current SCA methods. In addition, the project aims to bring together experts from the fields of quantum sensing and side-channel attacks to facilitate long-term collaboration. The project will initially focus on identifying and investigating the fundamental suitability of quantum sensing for side-channel attacks and, subsequently, on further developing promising approaches as needed. The target Technology Readiness Level (TRL) at the end of the project is between 3 and 4, depending on the technology.
