Side Channel Attacks (SCAs) are a class of attacks that exploit information that is leaked from a cryptographic device or system during its operation. This leaked information can be used to recover the secret key or other sensitive information. SCAs are a major threat to the security of cryptographic systems, and they have been used to attack a wide variety of devices, including smart cards, mobile phones, and even servers.
What are Side Channel Attacks?
SCAs are possible because cryptographic devices and systems are not perfect. When a cryptographic device is operating, it will inevitably leak some information about its internal state. This information can be in the form of electromagnetic radiation, power consumption, or timing information. An attacker can use this leaked information to infer the secret key or other sensitive information.
