No, AI did not break post-quantum cryptography

What this post added

This post clarifies that AI has not broken the Kyber post-quantum cryptography algorithm, despite recent news reports. It explains side-channel attacks, including remote timing and power analysis, and discusses countermeasures like masking and constant-time implementations. The post details how machine learning, particularly deep learning, is used in profiling attacks to extract secret keys from side-channel measurements, but emphasizes that these attacks are complex and require careful tuning. It concludes that while AI is a powerful tool for security evaluators in side-channel analysis, it is still far from breaking most real-world targets.
