In smart card domain, the emanations of a component during a cryptographic computation may compromise the information that is directly or not linked to the secret keys. The most part of the side channel attacks are based on statistical tools that exploit relations between the handled data and the signals. However these methods do not take advantage of all the signal information. The goal is to study the existing algorithms in pattern and speech recognition and to apply them to signals related to cryptographic computations. The objective will be to improve the attacks efficiency and resolve more complex problems.
