How Side-Channel Attacks Work

Instead of breaking math, attackers exploit physical leaks:

EM Leaks

Example: Measuring power fluctuations can reveal AES encryption keys!

How to Defend

• Constant-time algorithms (no timing leaks)
• Power masking (hide energy patterns)
• Cache randomization (prevent spy processes)
• Faraday cages (block EM signals)

Real-world example: Smartcards use "blinding" to resist power analysis.
