International Programs

International Laboratory "SCA Research Lab" was created in collaboration with the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology (Finland). It focuses on creating research and methodology means for providing information security, protection of modern and potential devices from side channel attacks, monitoring systems of information security, providing information security for cloud technologies, distributed and multiagent systems. Nowadays, ID devices such as smart-cards, bank cards, sim-cards, RFID tags and such are widely used all over the world, Russia included. The popularity of crypto devices, monitoring systems, distributed and multiagent systems makes their security a priority in research on side channel attacks.
