Side-Channel Analysis Dataset for Unified ML-DSA and ML-KEM Hardware Implementations (ML-DSA part)

This dataset contains power consumption traces captured from a unified hardware implementation of the FIPS 203 (ML-KEM) and FIPS 204 (ML-DSA) post-quantum cryptography standards. The data is intended for side-channel analysis, specifically for evaluating the leakage of signing and decapsulation operations.

Second part of this dataset is available under 10.5281/zenodo.18681117.

Data Format & Structure

The datasets are provided in HDF5 format for efficient access to large-scale trace data. Each file is organized as follows:

Fixed Input Traces: Located in fixed/traces with corresponding inputs in fixed/input (or fixed/inputs for full phases where public components vary).

Random Input Traces: Located in random/traces with corresponding inputs in random/inputs.

Metadata: The settings group contains oscilloscope configurations and sampling parameters.

Input Data Specification

To assist with leakage assessment and attack verification, the input byte ranges are structured as follows:

Byte Range (ML-DSA-44)
Description
Byte Range (ML-KEM-512)
Description

0–2559
Secret key
0–1631
Secret key

2560
Context
1632–2399
Ciphertext

2561–2588

Note on Sampling: Full-phase datasets have been down-sampled to 10 samples per clock cycle to optimize storage while maintaining signal integrity for analysis.
