Side-channel attacks are techniques used to extract sensitive information from a system by analyzing the indirectly related data rather than exploiting direct vulnerabilities. These attacks often take advantage of the physical implementation of a system, rather than flaws in its algorithms or protocols. ### Types of Side-Channel Information: 1. **Timing Information**: Variations in the time taken to execute cryptographic algorithms based on the input data can reveal secrets.
