Side-channel attack refers to the leakage of information from a physical system. However, the existing SCA detection systems didn’t have centralised verification and detection. Therefore, this paper presents a security-aware SCA detection framework using RA-GRU and TPCC. Primarily, the data transmission is done from the source to the destination. Here, keys are generated by Twi strass Prime Curve Cryptography (TPCC). Then, the data is encrypted based on TPCC and given to a MAC verification-based SCA detection system. In the meantime, the device setup is done. Afterwards, the signal traces are extracted, time stamp-based UUID is generated, and both are fused. Next, the fused traces are stored in IPFS, which generates a hash code. Subsequently, MAC creation and matching are performed. If both MAC values are matched, the traces are given to the SCA detection system; otherwise, the traces are blocked. Here, the SCA detection system performs pre-processing, feature extraction and selection, and classification. Eventually, the RA-GRU classifier detects whether the traces are attacked or non-attacked. Subsequently, the non-attacked traces are decrypted for a successful transaction. The outcomes proved that the proposed system achieved a high accuracy of 98.15%, which outperformed prevailing techniques.
