The detailed security evaluation of secure devices is a time-consuming, error-prone and labor-intensive process. The human security analyst is often called to cover a large attack surface within a limited amount of time. In this talk we show our future research plans that aim to accelerate side-channel evaluation and countermeasure development by automating both the attack and defense design pipelines. Our end goal is to provide automated tools that can reduce the secure device certification time, while still ensuring a thorough investigation.
