Power side channel information measurement

Power side channel information measurement

Paper in proceedings (conference paper)

This article describes the proper configuration of the experimental workplace, which is designed to obtain information leaking through the power side channel. The workplace is designed with reference to the distinct results and the cost of equipment. By the help of this workplace, we can distinguish between specific instructions and the number of switching transistors in the memory. Introduction deals with the reason of power changes at cryptographic devices. Other chapters describe the selection of appropriate measurement methods and measuring equipment. In conclusion, the results are presented and compared.
