    Abstract: A secret key estimation device is provided for determining an estimate of at least one secret key used during a number of executions of a cryptographic function used by at least one cryptographic algorithm. The number of executions of the cryptographic function is at least equal to two. The secret key estimation device comprises an analysis unit for determining a plurality of sets of leakage traces from a side-channel information acquired during the number of executions of the cryptographic function. Each set of leakage traces corresponds to an execution of the cryptographic function and comprising at least one leakage trace. The secret key estimation device further comprises a processing unit configured to determine a statistical distribution of the acquired plurality of sets of leakage traces. The statistical distribution is dependent on a leakage function, the leakage function being represented in a basis of functions by a set of real values. The secret key estimation device is configured to determine the secret key from the statistical distribution of the plurality of sets of leakage traces using an estimation algorithm according to the maximization of a performance metric.

    Abstract: A method for processing a digital image for rendering on a display. The image includes image elements associated with color information represented in a colorimetric space having a luminance and chrominance components. The luminance component has a value in a first predetermined interval. The display can render values of luminance components included in a second predetermined interval, of greater length than the first interval. The method includes: determining information representative of image brightness perceived by an observer, based on the values of the first luminance component; calculating an expansion exponent as a function of the determined brightness information; transforming the first luminance components into second luminance components, including calculating an intermediate luminance value by applying the calculated expansion exponent to the first luminance component value and multiplying the intermediate value by the length of the second interval. The expansion exponent is a decreasing function of the determined brightness information.
