Zusammenfassung: | Methods, machine readable media and systems for near-field electromagnetic simulation for side-channel emission analysis of an integrated circuit (IC) are described. In one embodiment, a method can include the following operations: simulating EM field strengths for a plurality of grid partitions of a circuit area of the IC based on a cryptographic work load applied to a model of the IC; identifying one or more of the grid partitions as a security sensitive region for the IC based on the EM field strengths, wherein one or more grid partitions outside of the security sensitive region are identified as non-security sensitive regions for the IC; and simulating EM fields for the IC to perform the EM side-channel emission analysis, wherein contributions of the EM fields from the non-security sensitive regions for the EM side-channel emission analysis are based on a linear superposition of wire currents in the non-security sensitive regions of the IC. |
