Side Channel Analysis (SCA)
Power Analysis
Power analysis is a form of SCA where an attacker studies the power consumption of a cryptographic hardware device.
Attacks & Case Studies
- PACMAN - YouTube: microarchitecture side channel attack to break ARM Pointer Authentication Code (PAC).
- Screaming Channels: side-channel attack that leaks AES via analog disturbances in RF wireless signal for mixed-signal SoCs.

Configuration Scrubbing
Scrubbing is the periodic reprogramming, or checking, of FPGA configuration space (e.g. how Programmable Logic fabric is programmed and routed) to prevent/fix errors. These errors could be caused by radiation (e.x. FPGAs operating in a space or nuclear environment) or malicious actors.
