Since their introduction by Kocher in 1998, power analysis attacks have attracted significant
attention within the cryptographic community. While early works in the field mainly …

During the last years, several masking schemes for AES have been proposed to secure
hardware implementations against DPA attacks. In order to investigate the effectiveness of …

A general method to secure cryptographic algorithms against side-channel attacks is the use
of randomization techniques and, in particular, masking. Roughly speaking, using random …

Since their publication in 1998 and 2001, respectively, Power and Electromagnetic Analysis
(SPA, DPA, EMA) have been successfully used to retrieve secret information stored in …

Interference between processes executing on shared hardware can be used to mount
performance-degradation attacks. However, in most cases, such attacks offer little benefit for …

The worldwide reach of the Internet allows malicious cyber criminals to coordinate and
launch attacks on both cyber and cyber-physical infrastructure from anywhere in the world …

There are several attacks that exploit the presence of side channels in hardware
implementations of cryptographic algorithms to extract secret data. Differential power …

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are, like CPUs, susceptible to side-channel
information leakage and covert communication. The malleability of FPGAs enables users to …

A recent branch of cryptography focuses on the physical constraints that a real-life
cryptographic device must face, and attempts to exploit these constraints (running time …
