| Summary: | Side-channel attacks (SCA) are attacks launched by cyber attackers to uncover
information from cryptography devices. This information may include confidential plaintexts
or secret keys used for encryption, and hence highlights the need for further studies in
protecting ourselves against such attacks. In this report, we will discuss how Power Analysis
Attacks may be used by attackers to uncover our confidential information. Two main forms
of analysis attacks will be discussed – namely correlation and differential power attacks. The
focus of the report will be on how these power attacks work and will discuss the results of our
experiments on implementing these forms of attacks on devices under Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES). |
