Recently, I heard about side-channel attacks on hardware wallets. I'm wondering if there is a way to protect hardware wallets from such attacks. Can anyone explain how hardware wallets can protect themselves from side-channel attacks?
I understand that a side-channel attack is a type of attack which exploits the implementation of a cryptographic algorithm instead of the algorithm itself. It can be used to gain access to sensitive information such as private keys. I also know that hardware wallets are physical devices used to store a user's cryptocurrency, and they usually come with a secure chip which prevents data from being exposed to the user's computer or the internet.
I'm curious to know what kind of measures hardware wallets take to protect themselves from side-channel attacks. Do they use additional security measures like encryption or authentication? Are there any best practices that I should follow when using a hardware wallet?
I would really appreciate any advice or information you can provide.
