Testing PQC Timing Side-Channels
Security of cryptographic implementations doesn't depend only on mathematical correctness of the code but also whether that code doesn't leak secret information through its behaviour. In this session I will talk about challenges of side-channel analysis in general, what new things do post-quantum algorithms bring to the table, and the results of the testing my team and I have performed.
