• Abstract: Cryptography is vital for data security, but cryptographic algorithms can still be vulnerable to side-channel attacks (SCAs), physical assaults exploiting power consumption and EM radiation. SCAs pose a significant threat to cryptographic integrity, compromising device keys. While literature on SCAs focuses on real-world devices, the rise of sophisticated devices necessitates fresh approaches. Electromagnetic side-channel analysis (EM-SCA) gathers information by monitoring EM radiation, capable of retrieving encryption keys and detecting malicious activity. This study evaluates EM-SCA's impact on encryption across scenarios and explores its role in digital forensics and law enforcement. Addressing encryption susceptibility to EM-SCA can empower forensic investigators in overcoming encryption challenges, maintaining their crucial role in law enforcement. Additionally, the paper defines EM-SCA's current state in attacking encryption, highlighting vulnerable and resistant encryption algorithms and devices, and promising EM-SCA approaches. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of EM-SCA in law enforcement and digital forensics, suggesting avenues for further research.
