ePrint Report: Hiding in Plain Sight: Non-profiling Deep Learning-based Side-channel Analysis with Plaintext/Ciphertext

Lichao Wu, Guilherme Perin, Stjepan Picek

Deep learning-based profiling side-channel analysis is widely adopted in academia and industry thanks to the ability to reveal secrets protected with countermeasures. To leverage its capability, the adversary needs to have access to a clone of an attack device to obtain the profiling measurements. Moreover, the adversary needs to know secret information to label these measurements. Non-profiling attacks avoid those constraints …
