Side-channel vulnerability factor: A metric for measuring information leakage
There have been many attacks that exploit side-effects of program execution to expose secret information and many proposed countermeasures to protect against these attacks. Howeve...

Tamper-Proof Circuits: How to Trade Leakage for Tamper-Resilience
Abstract. Tampering attacks are cryptanalytic attacks on the implementation of cryptographic algorithms (e.g., smart cards), where an adversary introduces faults with the hope that...

A Statistical Test for Information Leaks Using Continuous Mutual Information
—We present a statistical test for detecting information leaks in systems with continuous outputs. We use continuous mutual information to detect the information leakage from tri...

On Hiding a Plaintext Length by Preencryption
It is a well known fact that encryption schemes cannot hide a plaintext length when it is unbounded. We thus admit that an approximation of it may leak and we focus on hiding its p...

Encrypted? Randomised? Compromised? (When Cryptographically Secured Data is Not Secure)
Protecting data is not simply a case of encrypt and forget: even data with full cryptographic confidentiality and integrity protection can still be subject to information leakage. ...

Computing the Leakage of Information-Hiding Systems
We address the problem of computing the information leakage of a system in an efficient way. We propose two methods: one based on reducing the problem to reachability, and the oth...
