The MARSHAL project is also interested in the societal aspects of piracy and will therefore study the legal issues associated with reverse engineering in order to develop a theory of the legality of reverse engineering.

Partners: Gemalto, Invia, UVSQ, CryptoExperts, CEA-Leti
Project manager for UVSQ: Louis GOUBIN
Description: ECLIPSES aims to design a hardware platform specific to cryptographic applications based on elliptic curves. The cryptographic coprocessor targeted will support the basic operations (addition and doubling of points, scalar multiplication, bilinear coupling, etc.) over a wide range of different curves. The ECLIPSES cryptoprocessor aims to transparently resist all types of known physical attacks using analysis by hidden channels and by injection of faults, thereby guaranteeing the industrial interest of the deployed cryptographic applications. We will emphasize the need to comply with the constraints of the embedded: minimum consumption, limited area, etc., by aiming for a hardware implementation in less than 10,000 logic gates. ECLIPSES will thus contribute to the deployment of elliptical curves in the on-board security industry.
