MIT Researchers Develop An ASIC To Defend Against Power-based Side Channel Attacks
A team of researchers affiliated with MIT School of Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, and Analog Devices have collaborated to design a tiny application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) to defend against power-based side-channel attacks on an IoT device. Before getting into the...
