The attack efficacy of Differential Power Analysis (DPA), a popular side channel evaluation technique for key extraction, is compromised by the false highest Difference Of Means (DOMs) value (‘ghost peaks’) in the DOMs matrix produced in a conventional DPA. The ghost peak is generated by the wrong k...
