I am a beginner using Chipwhisperer 1200 pro. I wish to implement various crypto algorithms and perform CPA on those implementations.
I found few crypto algorithms already available in AVRCRYPTOLIB folder. So as an example I have used the present code available and implemented in the XMEGA target. I wish to do CPA on the implemented present cipher.
In default I could find the available leakage models by printing ‘cwa.leakage_models’. Now I wish to know which leakage model should I use for attacking Present cipher. Also, on searching for the details further, I couldn’t find any relevant documents discussing about the suitable leakage models for various algortihms.
In Lab 4_3 - ChipWhisperer Analyzer CPA Attack (MAIN) course it was mentioned that it will be discussed in SCA201 where I couldn’t find related data. So, it would be of great help if you could share the link/details of the related documents on ‘cwa.leakage_models’ and how to choose the needed one for other algorithms in AVRCRYPTOLIB folder.
If you search for “leakage_models” in the sca201 folder, you’ll find them 
(labs 2_1 and 3_1).
To do a CPA attack on a different cipher, you’ll need to build your own leakage model. Take the time to really understand how the existing leakage models work, using the tutorials.
Thank you @jpthibault for clearing my query and for sharing the needed docs. I will refer the same.
As per my understanding, If I am not wrong,
The provided cwa.leakage_models as below are applicable only for AES. Isn’t it? If I have to perform attack on other crypto algorithms, then I have to write attack codes similar to what is available for AES attack. Is my understanding correct?

Yes, that’s right on both points.
Thank you… I will proceed further
