Abstract

To enhance the efficiency of side-channel analysis for researchers and learners in the field of chip security, this paper designs and implements a side-channel information collection and analysis system based on Tkinter. The system adopts a modular design, primarily featuring three major modules: side-channel information collection, local side-channel information curve viewing, and side-channel attacks. The visualized side-channel information collection parameter configuration interface not only eliminates the cumbersome process of repeatedly modifying code in traditional side-channel information collection but also reduces the risk of code-level errors caused by manual operations. Additionally, the system supports side-channel information curve monitoring and side-channel attacks, enabling synchronous execution of side-channel attacks after data collection to form a closed-loop research chain of “collection-viewing-attack”. The system is equipped throughout the entire process with necessary reminders and warnings, features a user-friendly interface and simple operation, and thus helps improve research and learning efficiency.
