Quantum Computer Side-Channel and Fault Injection Security Analysis

The interest in quantum computing has grown rapidly in recent years, and with it grows the importance of securing quantum circuits. A …

This work presents a novel, black-box software-based countermeasure against physical attacks including power side-channel and …

The rapid growth of interest in quantum computing has brought about the need to secure these powerful machines against a range of …

This work shows the first exploration and study of power-based side-channel attacks in quantum computers. The explored attacks could be used to recover information about the control pulses sent to these computers. By analyzing these control pulses, attackers can reverse-engineer the equivalent gate-level description of the circuits, and the algorithms being run, or data hard-coded into the circuits.
