Side-Channel Attacks On Post-Quantum Cryptography


By Mike Hamburg and Bart Stevens Device security requires designers to secure their algorithms, not only against direct attacks on the input and output, but also against side-channel attacks. This requirement is especially notable for cryptographic algorithms, since they have a regular, well-understood structure, and the secrets they process often give access to much more information. Sid... » read more
