Abstract :
The differential power analysis is popular technique in exploiting weaknesses of the embedded systems - mostly of the smart cards. This approach is understandable as the DPA does not require expensive equipment or strong theoretical background on the device under attack. Therefore it is ideal for education of beginners or students in the field of computer security. The aim of this paper is to describe the economy of obtaining the basic equipment for the education of the differential power analysis and to share the experience with its teaching.
