Side-channel analysis based on machine learning, especially neural networks, has gained significant attention in recent years. However, many existing methods still suffer from certain limitations. Despite the inherent capability of neural networks to extract features, there remains a risk of extracting irrelevant information. The heavy reliance on profiled traces makes it challenging to adapt to remote …
