Side channel analysis attacks exploit the information leakage of a cryptographic device to lay hands on the secret information that is processed. Several statistical means to extract this information have been proposed since the onset of the research area. In this paper we perform a fair empirical comparison of several side channel analysis distinguishers on a hardware implementation of the Data Encryption Standard.
