Exploiting Per-Core Leakage: Electromagnetic Side-Channel Monitoring of Multicore Architectures
New research isolates per-core electromagnetic emanations on multicore embedded processors, revealing side-channel leakage paths that single-core threat models overlook.

arXiv:2608.28412v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multicore processors are increasingly adopted in embedded systems to meet growing performance demands. However, physical side-channel analysis of multicore architectures remains underexplored, as obtaining usable leakage is inherently challenging. Consequently, side-channel security research on such systems has lagged far behind, leaving a critical security gap. To address this gap, we reveal the electromagnetic leakage mechanisms in multicore arc
Editorial Analysis
As multicore embedded systems spread into OT and IoT environments, per-core EM side channels present an underappreciated attack surface for key extraction.
