Side-channel attacks exploit unintentional information leakage from cryptographic devices to recover secret data. These physical or behavioural channels include power consumption, electromagnetic ...

“Practical side-channel attacks on recent devices may be challenging due to the poor quality of acquired signals. It can originate from different factors, such as the growing architecture complexity, ...

A technical paper titled “SCAR: Power Side-Channel Analysis at RTL-Level” was published by researchers at University of Texas at Dallas, Technology Innovation Institute and University of Illinois ...

Encryption chips play a significant role in today’s society, in areas such as financial payments, smart cards, mobile devices, and more. For example, many electronic devices like bank cards, ...

A new side-channel attack known as Hertzbleed allows remote attackers to steal full cryptographic keys by observing variations in CPU frequency enabled by dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS).

So, you want to break cryptography. Brute force attacks on cryptography could take billions of years, which no one has to spare. Maybe you live in a country where rubber hose cryptography is, shall we ...

A new side-channel attack takes aim at Intel’s CPU ring interconnect in order to glean sensitive data. Intel processors are vulnerable to a new side-channel attack, which researchers said can allow ...

An exploit was released for a flaw existing in a process in CPUs called Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT). Yet another side-channel attack, this time dubbed PortSmash, has been discovered in CPUs. The ...

Funny things can happen when a security researcher and an electronics engineer specializing in high-speed circuits get together. At least they did when [Limpkin] met [Roman], which resulted in two ...

A side channel attack is a way to extract sensitive information from a system by some means other than the intended input and output channels, or a side channel. A conventional attack on the security ...

Having been endlessly regaled with tales of side-channel attacks and remote exploits, most of us by now realize that almost every piece of gear leaks data like a sieve. Everything from routers to TVs ...
