Analyzed Frame Data

Concept

Analyzed Frame Data (AFD) is a custom binary output format introduced by the TVLA Analyzer toolchain to record per-frame side-channel assessment traces for convenient visual inspection during design-time evaluation.

Overview

Analyzed Frame Data (AFD) is a custom binary file format used to store output traces produced during side-channel assessment (SCA) of hardware designs. It is part of the data pipeline of the framework described in Towards Efficient and Automated Side Channel Evaluations at Design Time by Sijičić et al. [b0e095bd].
