On a longtemps considéré la sécurité informatique comme étant la sécurité des logiciels. Or, ces logiciels s'exécutant bel et bien sur du matériel, il est possible de surveiller les effets de bord du matériel durant leur exécution, comme la consommation de courant ou encore le temps d'exécution, pour attaquer l'implémentation de certains algorithmes. Ces attaques sont appelées attaques par canal auxiliaire. 2, record 2, French, - attaque%20par%20canal%20auxiliaire
