Abstract

In the previous chapter, we detailed the different simple models that could possibly be used to describe the behavior of CMOS devices. These models may allow an adversary to correlate the actual power consumption (monitored from the chip) with an hypothetical one depending on the key guess and the chosen model. As we will see in Chap. 6, a power consumption model can also be built from a training phase with a second identical device. Those attacks requiring a profiling training are known as Template Attack [AARR02] and Stochastic Models  [SLP05]
