Side channel attacks and the non volatile memory of the future

Published:07 October 2012Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we describe a new non-volatile memory, based on metal-insulator-metal that provides performance benefits compared to standard Flash memory. In addition and more importantly, it comes with some advantages with respect to side channel attacks, i.e., its structure prevents by default optical analysis.
