We evaluate the vulnerability of a pipelined Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) against Correlation Power Analysis (CPA) Side-Channel Attack (SCA). We identify that the registers in pipelined AES are most vulnerable against CPA SCA and propose a new power model targeting the switching activities of...
