Certain non-invasive physical attacks that do not need modifications to the
chip, notably those like Power Analysis Attacks, are out-of-scope. Power
analysis side-channel attacks represent a category of security threats that
capitalize on information leakage through a device's power consumption during
its normal operation. These attacks leverage the correlation between a
device's power usage and its internal data processing activities. This
correlation provides attackers with the means to extract sensitive
information, including cryptographic keys.
