Timing Channels in Cryptography A Micro-Architectural Perspective

This book deals with timing attacks on software implementations of encryption algorithms. It describes and analyzes various unintended covert timing channels that are formed when ciphers are executed in microprocessors. Modern superscalar microprocessors are considered, which are enabled with featur...
