description In modern day society, encryption is a required defense in countering against adversaries. Implementations of encryption ensures data security in data transmissions and storage from being extracted and exploited. With a secret key, the specific person with the specific key is only allowed to access their specific information or data. However, there are ways to exploit the system and extract information on the key, leading to a potential breach in security. A cipher, like Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), is commonly used encryption algorithm to protect against attackers, however, it is vulnerable to physical attacks.
