Towards Understanding of Deep Learning in Profiled Side-Channel Analysis: Similarity of predictors measured and explained

Side-channel attacks (SCA) aim to extract a secret cryptographic key from a device, based on unintended leakage. Profiled attacks are the most powerful SCAs, as they assume the attacker has a perfect copy of the target device under his control. In recent years, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques have became popular as...
