Make a first cool thing
Start using scared by doing a cool thing:
# First import the lib
import scared
import numpy as np
# Define a selection function
@scared.attack_selection_function
def first_add_key(plaintext, guesses):
res = np.empty((plaintext.shape[0], len(guesses), plaintext.shape[1]), dtype='uint8')
for i, guess in enumerate(guesses):
res[:, i, :] = np.bitwise_xor(plaintext, guess)
return res
# Create an analysis CPA
a = scared.CPAAttack(
selection_function=first_add_key,
model=scared.HammingWeight(),
discriminant=scared.maxabs)
# Load some traces, for example a dpa v2 subset
ths = scared.traces.read_ths_from_ets_file('dpa_v2.ets')
# Create a container for your ths
container = scared.Container(ths)
# Run!
a.run(container)
