Power Analysis Attacks and Countermeasures
November-December 2007 (vol. 24 no. 6)
pp. 535-543
One of the biggest challenges of designers of cryptographic devices is to protect the devices against implementation attacks. Power analysis attacks are among the strongest of these attacks. This article provides an overview of power analysis attacks and discusses countermeasures against them. In particular, this article summarizes recent results with countermeasures that can be implemented at the cell level. Many countermeasures of this kind have been proposed, but several limitations of these countermeasures have been identified.
