KLEIN — The Light-weight crypto method that hides its operation

--

The AES block cipher method is well used in operations, but it gives away its secrets within side-channel attacks. With this, an intruder can listen to the electrical noise, or the radio emissions and derive the AES key. So something that should take trillions and trillions of years to find a key, can be computed in less than 30 minutes. Here is Dr Owen Lo cracking an AES key live:
