Remote Power Side- Channel Attacks on FPGAs

Editor’s notes: Side-channel attacks, like those exploiting power and timing, are generally thought to require physical access to a system. This research challenges that idea by demonstrating how such attacks can be carried out on remote systems without physical access. It emphasizes the need to rethink how modern shared-FPGA systems are designed, prioritizing security as a core consideration. –Jeyavijayan Rajendran, Texas AM University, USA
