Hardware-based implementations in Side-Channel Analysis: A comparison study of DL SCA attacks against HW and SW AES and a novel methodology

Side-Channel Attacks (SCA) attempt to recover the secret cryptographic key from an electronic device by exploiting the unintended physical leakages of said device. With the devices that are being attacked becoming more sophisticated, so is SCA. In the past few years, the focus of the research in the field of SCA shifted towards the application...

On the use of ResNet architec- tures for Side-Channel Analysis

Some of the most prominent types of attacks against modern cryptographic implementations are side-channel attacks. These attacks leverage some unintended, often physical, leakage of the implementation to retrieve secret information. In recent times, a large part of the focus of side-channel research has been on deep learning methods. These...
