An introduction to side-channel attacks

The rapid growth of connected devices and the sensitive data they generate poses a significant challenge for manufacturers seeking to comprehensively protect their devices from attack. Indeed, consumers expect their IoT devices and data to be adequately secured against a wide range of vulnerabilities and exploits. Put simply, high levels of security must now be implemented as a primary design parameter, rather than a tertiary afterthought.

Historically, solutions that included robust encryption/decryption algorithms with cryptographic keys were considered secure. This is because brute force attacks have ultimately become computationally infeasible due to the increased key length of the cryptographic algorithm.
