This article, along with the two conference papers that it updates, have become standard references on optimizing template attacks through LDA dimensionality reduction. Unlike earlier work, it demonstrates profiled attacks not just in the context of an entire cryptographic algorithm, but in the far more challenging setting of targeting just the data transferred by a single machine instruction. It thereby demonstrated that not just cryptographic algorithms, but operations as simple as copying data can be vulnerable to template attacks.
