SCA3S: middle-ware (or support infrastructure)

Acting as a component part of the wider SCARV project, SCA3S is a collection of resources that support the development and analysis of cryptographic implementations wrt. side-channel attack: SCA3A is, more specifically, pitched as offering "side-channel analysis as a service": it allows users to acquire and analyse side-channel data-sets which stem from execution of their implementation, without (necessarily) owning or operating the associated infrastructure. Mirroring the goals of SCARV, it places particular emphasis on analogue side-channels (e.g., power and EM) stemming from RISC-V-based platforms. The main repository acts as a general container for associated resources; this specific submodule houses various middle-ware components (e.g., relating to interaction between front- and back-end).
