Spatial Analysis Tools & Side Channel Attacks


Abstract "Practical side-channel attacks on recent devices may be challenging due to the poor quality of acquired signals. It can originate from different factors, such as the growing architecture complexity, especially in System-on-Chips, creating unpredictable and concurrent operation of multiple signal sources in the device. This work makes use of mixture distributions to formalize... » read more
