"Libgcrypt ‘Sliding Right’ Attack Allows Recovery of RSA-1024 Keys"

In an academic paper titled, “Sliding right into disaster: Left-to-right sliding windows leak”, researchers have shared their discovery of how the cryptographic library, Libgcrypt, is susceptible to a local side-channel attack. It has been revealed that this vulnerability pertains to the leak of information from the left-to-right sliding windows exponentiation method used by Libgcrypt. This leak of information could allow attackers to fully recover RSA-1024 keys. This article further discusses the details of this vulnerability and the research conducted behind this discovery.
