Aloha!

On the cfrg someone just pointed to the following BSI report written by
Tanja Lange et al about Elliptic Curves and side channel attacks. A lot
of CC and TOE talk, but the report really gives a lot of good
information about how to implement EC to minimize side channel leakage
and how to evaluate EC implementations.

https://www.bsi.bund.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/DE/BSI/Zertifizierung/Interpretationen/AIS_46_ECCGuide_e_pdf.pdf

The focus is on smart cards with EC partially or in whole implemented in HW.
