  • Abstract
    Hardware security is a significant issue today and has received much attention regarding side-channel attacks, including power attacks. We present a theoretical comparison of power-attack susceptibility of two common DAC architectures using metrics derived from information theory. Simulation results demonstrate the computation method.
