Navigating Side-Channel Attacks: A Comprehensive Overview of Cryptographic System Vulnerabilities

Abstract

Side-channel attacks have become increasingly important in the dynamic field of cybersecurity, posing a challenge to the security paradigms of cryptographic systems and implementations. The goal of this thorough review paper is to give a thorough understanding of side-channel assaults by examining the various kinds, subtypes, and difficulties that they present for modern security solutions. Understanding the taxonomy of side-channel attack vulnerabilities is essential for creating effective defense methods because these assaults target a wide range of vulnerabilities, from power consumption patterns to acoustic emanations.
