Chypnosis: Undervolting-based Static Side-channel Attacks
Chypnosis is an undervolting attack that indirectly stops a target circuit's clock while preserving its stored data. By rapidly dropping the supply voltage, it can prevent both clock-monitoring defenses and voltage-sensor response mechanisms from clearing sensitive state. Demonstrations across multiple FPGAs, the OpenTitan alert handler, laser logic state imaging, and impedance analysis show that secrets can still be recovered from protected cryptographic hardware. The work also proposes and validates an improved FPGA-compatible clock-detection countermeasure.

Uncertainty Estimation in Neural Network-enabled Side-channel Analysis and Links to Explainability
This work introduces a Rényi entropy-based framework for measuring uncertainty in neural network-assisted side-channel analysis and explaining its effect on key recovery. It separates model-related and data-related uncertainty, uses matrix-based Rényi measures to approximate high-dimensional leakage distributions, and combines Shapley-value explanations with uncertainty estimates to identify influential trace features. Experiments show that predictive uncertainty strongly correlates with established attack metrics such as key rank.

Telescope: Top-Down Hierarchical Pre-silicon Side-channel Leakage Assessment in System-on-Chip Design
Telescope is a top-down framework for assessing side-channel leakage before silicon is available. It traces leakage across architecture, microarchitecture, and gate levels to reveal how software-level behavior propagates into hardware—and where leakage progressively appears, emerges, or disappears. Evaluations on the PicoRV32 and IBEX RISC-V processors demonstrate how this cross-level view can scale to practical leakage debugging and verification.

Jolt: Recovering TLS Signing Keys via Rowhammer Faults
Digital Signature Schemes such as DSA, ECDSA, and RSA are widely deployed to protect the integrity of security protocols such as TLS, SSH, and IPSec. In TLS, for instance, RSA and (EC)DSA are used to sign the state of the agreed upon protocol parameters during the handshake phase. Naturally, RSA and (EC)DSA implementations have become the target of numerous attacks, including powerful side-channel attacks. Hence, cryptographic libraries were patched repeatedly over the years.Here we introduce Jolt, a novel attack targeting signature scheme implementations. Our attack exploits faulty signatures gained by injecting faults during signature generation. By using the signature verification primitive, we correct faulty signatures and, in the process deduce bits of the secret signing key. Compared to recent attacks that exploit single bit biases in the nonce that require 245 signatures. We show that the proposed attack also works on Schnorr and RSA signatures with minor modifications. We demonstrate the viability of Jolt by running experimentson libraries such as WolfSSL, OpenSSL, Microsoft SymCrypt, LibreSSL, and Amazon s2n.
