Side-Channel Attack
A form of attack that infers keys or sensitive data by analyzing physical information leaked during a system's computations, such as power consumption, electromagnetic radiation, and execution time.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Side-channel attacks (such as cache timing and power analysis) have repeatedly broken through TEE implementations such as Intel SGX.
Mitigation of side-channel and microarchitectural vulnerabilities often requires hardware microcode or firmware updates and is often accompanied by performance loss.
If hardware is physically obtained, attackers may bypass encryption through side-channel methods such as differential power analysis and electromagnetic emanation analysis.
