Side-channel analysis has become a standard procedure for designing and implementing secure cryptographic primitives of embedded information technology based security systems. In this paper we introduce and discuss the usage of so-called constructive side-channel analysis to optimise the implementation process of secure cryptographic primitives with respect to implementation attacks such as side-channel analysis attacks. Next to an introduction to side-channel aware implementation primitives for security applications, we will highlight the differences between qualitative and quantitative side-channel analysis methods and suitable side-channel analysis tools, which can be utilised for an efficient implementation procedure of secure hardware designs.
