Fun with flags: How Compilers Break and Fix Constant-Time Code
Antoine Geimer, Clementine Maurice
Developers rely on constant-time programming to prevent timing side-channel attacks. But these efforts can be undone by compilers, whose optimizations may silently reintroduce leak…

A Systematic Evaluation of Automated Tools for Side-Channel Vulnerabilities Detection in Cryptographic Libraries
Antoine Geimer, Mathéo Vergnolle, Frédéric Recoules +3
To protect cryptographic implementations from side-channel vulnerabilities, developers must adopt constant-time programming practices. As these can be error-prone, many side-channe…
