A side-channel attack monitors indirect signals, like power consumption, electromagnetic radiation, or timing, to steal cryptographic keys and other secrets. While they usually target hardware – ...

Side‐channel attacks represent a significant threat to cryptographic security by exploiting unintended physical emissions from computational devices. These attacks utilise information leaked through ...

A new technical paper titled “Memory DisOrder: Memory Re-orderings as a Timerless Side-channel” was published by researchers at University of Washington, Duke University, UC Santa Cruz, Raytheon and ...

A new technical paper titled “Breaking ECDSA with Electromagnetic Side-Channel Attacks: Challenges and Practicality on Modern Smartphones” was published by researchers at Fraunhofer Institute for ...

Side-channel attacks have emerged as a critical security concern in an era of increasing reliance on virtualised environments. These attacks exploit indirect leakage—such as subtle timing variations, ...

The big picture: Side-channel attacks are designed to exploit specific types of information leaked by hardware devices, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access to sensitive or secret data.

Pixnapping could be used to steal private data, including 2FA codes. Side-channel attack abuses Google Android APIs to steal data on display. Flaw is partially patched, although a more complete fix is ...
