International Association
for Cryptologic Research

Since 2015, a crypto-engineering challenge is organized every year in cooperation with CHES.

This year the CHES Challenge has two tracks:

• A hardware security challenge: HACK@CHES 2021
• A white-box cryptography challenge: The WhibOx Contest 2021

HACK@CHES 2021 challenges participants to discover hardware vulnerabilities in an SoC. Winners will be awarded with fame and a 2000$ cash prize. Challenge website: https://hackatevent.org/hackches21/

The WhibOx Contest 2021 challenges participants to design and/or break white-box implementations of ECDSA. Winners will be awarded with fame and a 2000$ cash prize. Challenge website: https://whibox-contest.github.io/2021/

Spread the word and have fun!
