ePrint Report: Diffuse Some Noise: Diffusion Models for Measurement Noise Removal in Side-channel Analysis

Sengim Karayalcin, Guilherme Perin, Stjepan Picek

Resilience against side-channel attacks is an important consideration for cryptographic implementations deployed in devices with physical access to the device. However, noise in side-channel measurements has a significant impact on the complexity of these attacks, especially when an implementation is protected with masking. Therefore, it is important to assess the ability of an attacker to deal with noise. While some …
