Template and CPA Side Channel Attacks on the Kyber/ML-KEM Pair-Pointwise Multiplication
I've no idea how relevant the *"40 traces to recover the [attacked part of] secret key"* is, but what interested me was that publication of power traces dataset enabled this paper.
*"One of the drawbacks of the ongoing side channel analysis research related to PQC schemes is the availability of open-source datasets. Luckily some open-source datasets start popping up."*
In other words, there are different skill sets, temperaments, etc involved in improving power analysis side-channel attack, extracting the power traces requires one, while exploring the applied mathematics requires another. We cannot expect teams to have both, but publishing good quality power traces helps.
