AssOA
AssOA refers to a set of security vulnerabilities affecting certain implementations of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) when used in particular modes of operation, specifically in conjunction with the Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) authenticated encryption mode. These vulnerabilities, discovered by researchers, exploit side-channel leakage or implementation-specific weaknesses.
The core of the AssOA issue lies in how the AES-GCM mode processes data and generates authentication
It's important to note that AssOA does not necessarily indicate a flaw in the AES algorithm itself,
Mitigation strategies typically involve using constant-time implementations of AES and GCM, ensuring that cryptographic operations do
