Comment by Andre Magyar

@2dcat: Well I just learned something new, that's crazy how something like DPA is effective (I just looked into it, not previously knowing what that was). You'd think that'd be something that's pretty easy to provide a fix for, just make the device use power randomly here and there to throw off this stuff, and hopefully new devices are less susceptible to this. As to outdated devices, I fully agree there. Perhaps it's not the best example of this but a local Schlotzky's I like to frequent has public wifi, and their router is still running an OS distro from 2008!! There are probably so many exploits for that thing it's not even funny. As a sidenote I'm sure you've heard of that super simple network connected security cam vulnerability that was discovered in I think 2013, the one the guy at defcon did a presentation about, he mentioned there that they'd known about that vulnerability in the industry for years and never patched it. It's always more convenient to have a backdoor I guess.

Comment by 2DCAT

@andre-magyar: Both. You can really tell that the paper wants remote access to be a valid means to execute this attack, and this is conveyed across multiple, subsequent interviews in the media; however, it’s just not really possible. With an attacker requiring physical access to the device, the authors are (ironically) presenting a less effective form of DPA attacks. Ironic because Moradi had a strong role in bringing light to the original DPA attacks about a decade ago. Additionally, the Virtex 6 and 7-series devices are nearly a decade old at this point (and again, DPA attacks are just as effective and quicker). For as much as they (strangely) talk about market share in the paper, they oddly neglect to mention what percentage of the market is using Ultrascale/Ultrascale+/Versal devices vs. older and obsolete devices.

@2dcat: Ahh cool, thanks for the info. As a clarification, were you implying that the paper itself was sensationalized or that the media fallout because of it was? Just so I know what to look for when I read through it.

@andre-magyar: Oh, I didn't take it as passive aggressive – mostly just chuckling think “yep, I sure did dance around that one” lol. For an "advanced" version of the political side, Moradi and Paar published a paper within the last week (e.g., The Unpatchable Silicon: A Full Break of the Bitstream Encryption of Xilinx 7-Series FPGAs: https://www.usenix.org/system/files/sec20fall_ender_prepub.pdf), which is sensationalized garbage. People start freaking out because they don’t understand the research, only the marketing behind it, and then have to deal with all of the fallout of that 🤣🤣

@2dcat: I do apologize if I came across as passive aggressive. I really thought the stuff you talked about was super interesting and an area which I haven't been super exposed to before. While I'd say I'm pretty familiar with the consumer side of the semiconductor industry, the political side has been a bit of a mystery which you shed a lot of helpful light on for me. I just commented in case Andy wanted a more nitty gritty explanation of what a semiconductor was

Comment by 2DCAT

@andre-magyar: These discussions are always kind of difficult. I usually tend to give parallel examples or speak more in the abstract when I'm not sure who the audience is. In my past, I've go down a lot of rabbit holes by answering questions with additional terminology, which runs the risk of confusing folks even further, or becoming too boring in general. With this being a non-technical podcast, I tried to avoid going down certain rabbit holes to keep things as general as possible.

Damn, 2DCAT is a pretty interesting guy. This is a really cool interview.

Also, he didn't really explain what a semiconductor was. It's simply a type of substance with the conductivity between a conductor like copper, and an insulator like rubber. They're useful for circuits because you can manipulate how conductive they are by increasing the temperature. Another way to do this is by adding impurities into the crystal structure which create either charge holes or sinks (+ or - biased areas basically). The combination of these two things allows us to easily manipulate whether or not charge goes through a bit of silicon, leading to the transistor. Getting back to my previous point, an integrated circuit is just a bunch of transistors "cut" out of a single piece of silicon. If you want to know more, just look up some YT videos on how transistors work, it's pretty cool. Anyways I hope this answers your question better.
