Physical side-channel attacks are powerful attacks that exploit a device's physical emanations to break the security of cryptographic implementations. Many countermeasures have been proposed against these attacks, especially the widely-used and efficient masking countermeasure. Nevertheless, proving the security of masked implementations is challenging. Current techniques rely on empirical approaches to validate the security of such implementations. …
