CHES 2014: “Ooh Aah… Just a Little Bit” : A Small Amount of Side Channel Can Go a Long Way

Posted on June 30, 2014 by Yuval Yarom

Working with colleagues from the University of Bristol and from our local School of Mathematical Sciences, we combine our FLUSH+RELOAD side channel with an improved lattice attack to break the Bitcoin elliptic curve. N. Benger, J. van de Pol, N. P. Smart and Y.Yarom, “Ooh, Aah… Just a Little Bit”: A Small Amount of Side […]
