attack exploiting static power

Novel measurements setup for attacks exploiting static power using DC pico-ammeter

The static power consumption in modern integrated circuits has become a critical standpoint in side-channel analysis. As it has been widely demonstrated in the technical literature, it is possible to extract secret information from a cryptographic circuit by means of static current measurements. Static and dynamic power analysis require different measurement procedures, due to physical reasons.
