Abstract:
We describe two recent advances which substantially increase the scope and power of side-channel cryptanalysis. The first advance is the exploitation of information leakage from electromagnetic emanations. The second advance, known as template attacks, is a superior data analysis technique which substantially reduces the number of side-channel samples needed for an attack. These advances pose a risk to all cryptographic implementations, including those immune against earlier side-channel attacks.
