Understanding Side Channel Attacks: How Cache Vulnerabilities Can Compromise Ciphers
In an increasingly connected world, protecting sensitive data isn’t just best practice—it’s essential. Cryptographic algorithms like RSA and AES are mathematically secure, but their real‑world implementations can leak secret information through side channels. In this article, we’ll dive into how a processor’s memory hierarchy—especially cache memory—can betray secrets, and what you can do to defend […]
