Abstract

We present a dataset of side-channel power measurements captured during pair-pointwise multiplication in the decapsulation procedure of the Kyber Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM). The dataset targets the pair-pointwise multiplication step in the NTT domain, a key computational component of Kyber. The dataset is collected using the reference implementation from the PQClean project. We hope the dataset helps in research in ``classical'' power analysis and deep learning-based side-channel attacks on post-quantum cryptography (PQC).
