Implementation of the Belief Propagation Side Channel Attack

belief_propagation_attack

An implementation of the Belief Propagation Attack in python.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

Use

make install

to install necessary dependencies from REQUIREMENTS.txt.

Building

If you have cython installed, we recommend you run

make cython-build

Otherwise, you can build from the provided .c files:

make build

Building may take a while! To check whether it has built correctly, run

python belief_propagation_attack/main.py

If this simulates an attack, you're good to go.

Running the tests

WIP: run

make test

and see what happens.

Built With

• Python 2.7 - The language used
• networkx - Used to simulate the factor graph
• cython - To speed up some of the bottlenecked functions (arrayXOR)

Please don't. I'll update this once I've finished my PhD.
