ChipWhisperer-TVLA

Welcome to the home of the documentation for ChipWhisperer-TVLA!

Test Vector Leakage Assessment (TVLA) is a testing methodology for evaluating embedded devices’ resistance to side channel power analysis attacks. This library is a part of the NewAE mission to make researching and understanding side channel attacks on embedded devices more accessable.

For more information on TVLA, check out the original paper describing TVLA, as well as RamBus’s TVLA Derived Test Requirements, of which this library is based on.
