Cryptographic libraries, an essential part of cybersecurity, are shown to be susceptible to different types of attacks, including side-channel and memory-corruption attacks. In this article, we examine popular cryptographic libraries in terms of the security measures they implement, pinpoint security vulnerabilities, and suggest security improvements in their development process.
