This paper seems to focus on old Apple hardware (the newest I can find is the iPhone 5s). I wonder what the results would be on Apple's newest hardware (6 and above).
- powerbutton65 11y agoThe Apple hardware perspective is mostly just a gimmick. The side-channel leaks are a direct result of the ARM IP core (also not Apple proprietary). This is arguably old news, people have been attacking ARM based mobile devices for years now. It would be far more interesting to see if they could attack the Apple crypto hardware accelerators which AFAIK are hardened against these types of attack (as is the Apple CommonCrypto framework as of IOS 9). Apple seems to have ramped up their side-channel game in recent years.
