SCALib: A Side-Channel Analysis Library

Abstract

Side-channel attacks exploit unintended leakage from an electronic device in order to retrieve secret data.In particular, attacks exploiting physical side-channels such as power consumption or electromagnetic radiations to recover cryptographic keys are an important threat to embedded devices.Countermeasures against these attacks have been extensively researched for more than two decades and are often deployed in security-critical devices.
