Side channel attacks are a type of attack that exploit the physical characteristics of a system, such as power consumption, electromagnetic radiation, timing, sound, or temperature, to extract sensitive information. Secure startup mechanisms, such as secure boot or trusted boot, are primarily designed to thwart these types of attacks by verifying the integrity and authenticity of the system components before loading them into memory.
