Deriving ChaCha20 Key Streams From Targeted Memory Analysis (2019)
Journal Article
McLaren, P., Buchanan, W. J., Russell, G., & Tan, Z. (2019). Deriving ChaCha20 Key Streams From Targeted Memory Analysis. Journal of Information Security and Applications, 48, Article 102372. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jisa.2019.102372

There can be performance and vulnerability concerns with block ciphers, thus stream ciphers can used as an alternative. Although many symmetric key stream ciphers are fairly resistant to side-channel attacks, cryptographic artefacts may exist in memo...
