MCRank: Monte Carlo Key Rank Estimation for Side-Channel Security Evaluations

Key rank estimation provides a measure of the effort that the attacker has to spend bruteforcing the key of a cryptographic algorithm, after having gained some information from a side channel attack. We present MCRank, a novel method for key rank estimation based on Monte Carlo sampling. MCRank pro...
