TL;DR
This paper discusses the threat of side-channel attacks on encryption, explains how to prevent them, and recommends the CCM standard as a secure combined encryption and authentication method.
Contribution
It clarifies the nature of side-channel attacks and advocates for the adoption of the provably secure CCM standard for encryption and authentication.
Findings
Side-channel attacks pose significant risks to encryption methods.
The CCM standard provides a secure solution against such attacks.
Adoption of CCM is recommended over less proven methods.
Abstract
Recently, various side-channel attacks on widely used encryption methods have been discovered. Extensive research is currently undertaken to develop new types of combined encryption and authentication mechanisms. Developers of security systems ask whether to implement methods recommended by international standards or to choose one of the new proposals. We explain the nature of the attacks and how they can be avoided, and recommend a sound, provably secure solution: the CCM standard.
