Attacking Misaligned Power Tracks Using Fourth-Order Cumulant

Author 1: Eng. Mustafa M. Shiple Author 2: Prof. Dr. Iman S. Ashour Author 3: Prof. Dr. Abdelhady A. Ammar

Side channel attacks (SCA) use the leaked confidential data to reveal the cipher key. Power consumptions, electromagnetic emissions, and operation timing of cryptographic hardware are examples of measurable parameters (analysis) effected by internal confident data. To prevent such attacks, SCA countermeasures are implemented. Misaligned power tracks is a considerable countermeasure… Read full abstract & cite →
