Serious Cryptography

by Juliane Krämer (Author)
Presents two practical physical attacks, the complexity of which has been overestimated and the implied security threats of which have been underestimated
Demonstrates that the assessment of physical attack complexity is error-prone and cryptography should not rely on it
Demonstrates how attackers can reveal the secret key of cryptographic algorithms based on these physical attacks

Presents primary hardware-based computer security approaches in an easy-to-read toolbox format
Protecting valuable personal information against theft is a mission-critical component of today's electronic business community. In an effort to combat this serious and growing problem, the Intelligence and Defense communities have successfully employed the use of hardware-based security devices.
