Detecting On-The-Fly Side-Channel Key-Recovery Attacks and Measuring Security of Symmetric Encryption Schemes

A “valid padding” oracle was recently used by Vaudenay to show Side-channel attacks against common CBC mode ciphers algorithm. He demonstrated that symmetric encryption techniques are equally susceptible to side-channel attacks as asymmetric systems are by Mirrored Side Channel Attacks by Bleichenbacher and Manger. when a foe is able to differentiate between vulnerabilities cipher - texts that are both legitimate and illegitimate. Your study shows that when the integrity of cipher - texts is not ensured, such attacks are widespread. Then, by taking into account different padding methods, symmetric encryption techniques, and side channels, we expand the attack in numerous directions and provide assaults of varying potency against each. Finally, we make the case that requiring the Cipher - text Integrity [BN00]. Along with semantic safety being the “correct” data protection term for symmetric cryptography is the best method to defend against all of these assaults.
