Hardening microprocessors against side-channel attacks is a critical aspect of ensuring their security. A key step in this process is identifying and mitigating “leaky” hardware modules, which inadvertently leak information during the execution of cryptographic algorithms.
In this paper, we explore how different leakage detection methods, the Side-channel Vulnerability Factor (SVF) and the Test …
