Systematic Classification of Side-Channel Attacks: A Case Study for Mobile Devices

This paper proposes a new categorization system for side-channel attacks, necessary as side- channel attacks have evolved significantly since their scientific investigations during the smart card era in the 1990s, and facilitates the development of novel countermeasures.

Electromagnetic side-channel attacks: potential for progressing hindered digital forensic analysis

It is argued that electromagnetic side-channel analysis has significant potential to progress investigations obstructed by data encryption.

Side-Channel Attacks in the Internet of Things: Threats and Challenges

It is illustrated that microarchitectural attacks can compromise the entire IoT ecosystem: from devices in the field to servers in the backend, and new countermeasures are needed that effectively defend against both microarch Architectural and power/EM based side-channel attacks.

Side-Channel Attack on a Protected RFID Card

The security of the 3DES card can be easily compromised, using side-channel attacks, and it is recommended that the head and tail protection should extend to the first and last four rounds, at the minimal, in order to be side- channel attack resilience.

EM Side-Channel Attacks on Commercial Contactless Smartcards Using Low-Cost Equipment

We introduce low-cost hardware for performing non-invasive side-channel attacks on Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFID) and develop techniques for facilitating a correlation power analysis…
