Beyond TVLA: Anderson-Darling Leakage Assessment for Neural Network Side-Channel Leakage Detection

Ján Mikulec, Jakub Breier, Xiaolu Hou

Test Vector Leakage Assessment (TVLA) based on Welch's -test has become a standard tool for detecting side-channel leakage. However, its mean-based nature can limit sensitivity…
