key[j] where j = perm[byte_index].

The key byte is loaded unprotected from flash/ROM during AddRoundKey r=0 before being scaled into the GF(256) domain via gtab. Classic first-order DPA target; v2_rm_key is the masked (GF-scaled) version.

ViewPer-byte additive mask at the AES position consumed by shuffling slot byte_index.

ascad-v2-1 v2_perm 0
ViewShuffling permutation index at slot byte_index for ASCAD v2.

Returns j = perm[:, byte_index] — for each trace the AES byte position (0–15) processed in shuffling slot byte_index. All other slot-indexed v2_* targets derive j via this method.

Original-paper label: perm_index[byte_index] in the ASCAD v2 HDF5 file. Derived as:

perm[n, i] = G[G[G[G[(15 - i) XOR x0[n]] XOR x1[n]] XOR x2[n]] XOR x3[n]]

ptx[j] where j = perm[byte_index].

ViewSubBytes raw_out at round 1, slot byte_index: the sboxMasked LUT output.

rm * SBOX(ptx[j] ^ key[j]) ^ rout where j = perm[byte_index].

This is sboxMasked[lut_idx] — the value read from the firmware's masked S-Box LUT before it is XORed with state2[j] (masksState). It sits between :meth:v2_lut_idx (the LUT address) and :meth:v2_sbo_mid (the value written back into state[j]).

Original-paper label: sbox_masked[byte_index] in the ASCAD v2 HDF5 file and the NCC Group ML-104 blog 34-task model.
ascad-v2-1 v2_raw_out Zoomed v2_raw_out

ViewSubBytes raw_out at round 1 indexed directly by AES byte position.

rm * SBOX(ptx[i] ^ key[i]) ^ rout where i = byte_index (no perm).

Unlike :meth:v2_raw_out, the shuffle permutation is not applied — byte_index maps directly to the AES state byte position. This is the same formula as :meth:v2_raw_out but over the identity byte ordering, making it practical as an un-permuted SNR or model target.

Original-paper label: sbox_masked_with_perm[byte_index] in the ASCAD v2 HDF5 file and the NCC Group ML-104 blog 18-task model (RMmSBOxROUT in scandal/crypto.py).

ViewMasked round-key contribution added during AddRoundKey r=0 at slot byte_index.

ascad-v2-1 v2_rm_key -
ascad-v2-1 v2_rm_ptx 0

ViewUnmasked SBI at the AES byte position consumed by shuffling slot byte_index.

ptx[j] ^ key[j] where j = perm[byte_index].

Unlike :meth:sbi, which uses byte_index as a direct AES byte position, this target follows the actual byte consumed by the firmware SubBytes shuffle at slot byte_index.
ascad-v2-1 v2_sbi_perm -
ascad-v2-1 v2_sbo_affine 0
ViewAffine-masked SBO at slot byte_index after full SubBytes (post-loop rout strip).

rm * SBOX(ptx[j] ^ key[j]) ^ mask[j] where j = perm[byte_index].

This is the state value after the post-loop state[j] ^= rout pass restores the affine invariant. The rout mask is gone; only the multiplicative mask rm and the per-byte additive mask remain.
ascad-v2-1 v2_sbo_affine Zoomed v2_sbo_affine
ascad-v2-1 v2_sbo_hd 0
ViewHamming distance between mid-SubBytes and affine SBO.

HD(rm * SBOX(ptx[j] ^ key[j]) ^ rout ^ mask[j], rm * SBOX(ptx[j] ^ key[j]) ^ mask[j]) where j = perm[byte_index].
ascad-v2-1 v2_sbo_hd Zoomed v2_sbo_hd
ascad-v2-1 v2_sbo_mid 0
ViewMid-SubBytes state at slot byte_index before post-loop rout strip.

rm * SBOX(ptx[j] ^ key[j]) ^ rout ^ mask[j] where j = perm[byte_index].

This is raw_out ^ state2[j], i.e. the value written back into state[j] inside the SubBytes inner loop, before the post-loop state[j] ^= rout pass. The rout mask has not yet been removed.
ascad-v2-1 v2_sbo_mid Zoomed v2_sbo_mid
ascad-v2-1 v2_sbo_perm 0
ViewUnmasked SBO at the AES byte position consumed by shuffling slot byte_index.

SBOX(ptx[j] ^ key[j]) where j = perm[byte_index].
ascad-v2-1 v2_sbo_perm -
ascad-v2-1 v2_xw_state 0
ViewState after Xor_Word at round 1 (before SubBytes) at slot byte_index.

rm * (ptx[j] ^ key[j]) ^ mask[j] ^ rin where j = perm[byte_index].

This is the state byte written to the register immediately before the firmware issues the sboxMasked lookup.

Usage

You can load this dataset directly using Zarr and Hugging Face File System:

import zarr
from huggingface_hub import HfFileSystem

fs = HfFileSystem()

# Map only once to the dataset root
root = zarr.open_group(fs.get_mapper("datasets/DLSCA/ascad-v2-1"), mode="r")

# Access traces directly
traces = root["traces"]
print("Traces shape:", traces.shape)

# Access plaintext metadata directly
plaintext = root["metadata"]["plaintext"]
print("Plaintext shape:", plaintext.shape)
