The EVIL Machine: Encode, Visualize and Interpret the Leakage

ePrint Report: The EVIL Machine: Encode, Visualize and Interpret the Leakage

Valence Cristiani, Maxime Lecomte, Philippe Maurine

Unsupervised side-channel attacks allow extracting secret keys manipulated by cryptographic primitives through leakages of their physical implementations. As opposed to supervised attacks, they do not require a preliminary profiling of the target, constituting a broader threat since they imply weaker assumptions on the adversary model. Their downside is their requirement for some a priori knowledge on the leakage model of the device. On …
