Application-Specific Power Side-Channel Attacks and Countermeasures Survey

This survey paper is important because it moves beyond the traditional focus on cryptographic implementations in power side-channel attacks. It explores the application of these attacks and countermeasures in diverse domains like machine learning, user behavior analysis, and instruction-level disassembly, highlighting the broader implications of power analysis in cybersecurity.

• •Focuses on power side-channel attacks beyond cryptography.
• •Covers diverse application domains like machine learning and user behavior.
• •Provides a comprehensive comparison of attacks and countermeasures based on application-specific considerations.
