Abstract(in English) This paper presents a method for estimating the lower bound of success rate (SR) and the upper bound of guessing entropy (GE) on deep-learning-based side-channel attacks (DL-SCAs) for the purpose of direct and quantitative performance evaluation. In conventional side-channel attacks, SR and GE are widely used as indicators for measuring the efficiency of attacks. On the other hand, in DL-SCA, it is pointed out that performance evaluation metrics generally used in machine learning such as Accuracy and Precision are not effective in estimating SR and GE. In this paper, we consider that the negative log-likelihood used in DL-SCA can be reduced to the sum of independent random variables, and derive a tighter GE upper bound and SR lower bound using a probability concentration inequality. Through attack experiments on different data sets, we confirm the effectiveness of the upper bound of GE and the lower bound of SR derived by the proposed method.
