Runa Sigurdsdóttir

Icelandic electrical engineer and side-channel specialist who came to cryptography not through mathematics but through an oscilloscope. Runa covers physical attacks, power analysis, electromagnetic emanations, fault injection, and every other way a theoretically perfect cipher dies on contact with actual hardware. Her articles average 4,500 words because, as she explains, 'the devil is in the power trace, and the power trace is long.'
