Hardware Is the Hidden Risk: Ferhat Yaman on PQC, Side-Channel Attacks, and AI Privacy

What if your hardware is leaking secrets before your software even boots? In this episode of Shielded: The Last Line of Cyber Defense, Johannes Lintzen sits down with Ferhat Yaman, a security researcher at AMD’s Product Security Office, to explore the front lines of post-quantum cryptography, hardware vulnerabilities, and AI privacy. From electromagnetic side-channel attacks to homomorphic encryption, Ferhat shares practical insights from years of research and testing across AMD, academia, and open source projects. Learn what it takes to build and test hardware for a post-quantum world.
