Leakage Resilient Cryptography

The increasing popularity of cloud computing makes  side channel attacks a greater threat to cryptographic algorithms than previously realized. Whereas an attacker would have to be pretty motivated to install a device in your wall to measure your computer’s power consumption, it’s comparatively easy to load a bit of code on a server in the cloud and eavesdrop on other applications it’s running.

To address this reality, cryptographers have been investigating ways of protecting against broad families of side channels attacks for a broad spectrum of cryptographic algorithms and protocols, both at design time and through the introduction of general anti-side-channel-attack compilers. Researchers at the CIS group ahave taken a lead on these investigations. Below is a list of papers and articles on the groups research.
