Glossary of Terms

Algorithm for generating a sequence of numbers whose properties approximate the properties of sequences of random numbers.

Attack methodology to retrieve secret data based on fault injections. The principle is to induce faults—unexpected environmental conditions—into cryptographic implementations, to reveal their internal states.

Analysis using covariance to recover secret information from Side-Channel observations

Set of access control technologies for restricting the use of proprietary hardware and copyrighted works.

Feature of computer systems that allows certain hardware subsystems to access main system memory (random-access memory) independently of the central processing unit (CPU).
