The Side-Channel Analysis Library (SCALib) is a Python library that

contains state-of-the-art tools for side-channel security evaluation.



- **Documentation**: https://scalib.readthedocs.io/

- **Examples**: `examples/ `_

- **Chat**: `https://matrix.to/#/#scalib:matrix.org`

- **Source code**: https://github.com/simple-crypto/SCALib

- **Bug reports/feature requests**: https://github.com/simple-crypto/SCALib/issues/new/choose

- **Contributing**: https://scalib.readthedocs.io/en/stable/source/contributing.html



SCALib focuses on



- simple interface,

- state-of-the art algorithms,

- excellent performance (see `benchmarks `_).



SCALib should be useful for any side-channel practitioner who wants to

evaluate, but not necessarily attack, protected or non-protected

implementations.

See the documentation_ for the list of implemented tools.

Install

=======



SCALib is on PyPi! Simple install:



.. code-block::



    pip install scalib



We provide pre-built wheels for any recent python on Linux and Windows (x86).

Be sure to use a **recent pip**.

For other plateforms, this will build SCALib (see below for dependencies).



Local build

-----------



To get **best performance**, you want to build locally (this will optimize

SCALib for your CPU).



**Depdendencies:**



- ``python >= 3.8``,

- the python ``build`` module (`available on PyPI `__),

- a C/C++ compiler for your platform,

- ``clang`` (version 5.0 or later),

- the latest stable release of the `rust toolchain `_.



To install from source:



.. code-block::



    git clone https://github.com/simple-crypto/SCALib

    cd SCALib

    pip install .



See `CONTRIBUTING.rst `__ for advanced build configuration.



Usage

=====



See `API documentation `_,

`example `_ and

`real-world usages `_.



Alternatives

============



If your needs are not covered by SCALib, you might be more lucky with 

`lascar `_ or `scared `_.



Please also let us know your needs by opening a 

`feature request `_.



Versioning policy

=================



SCALib uses `semantic versioning `_, see the `CHANGELOG

`_ for breaking changes and novelties.



About us

========

SCALib was initiated by Olivier Bronchain and Gaëtan Cassiers during their PhD

at UCLouvain. It is now developed as a project of

`SIMPLE-Crypto `_ and maintained by Gaëtan Cassiers (@cassiersg).



Contributions and Issues

========================



Contributions welcome !



Please file a **bug report** for any issue you encounter (even bad documentation is

a bug !), and let us know your **suggestions** (open a `github issue

`_, `chat

`_ and `email

`_ work too).

We also welcome code contributions, see `CONTRIBUTING.rst `_.



You can also come discuss on `matrix `_

(announcements, questions, community support, open discussion, etc.).



All code contributions are subject to the Contributor License Agreement (`CLA

`_) of SIMPLE-Crypto, which ensures

a thriving future for open-source hardware security.
