Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for analyzing hardware designs for vulnerabilities to side-channel attacks. One of the methods includes receiving a request to analyze a device hardware design for side-channel vulnerabilities in the device after being manufactured. Physical characteristics data is obtained representing one or more physical characteristics of the device based on the device hardware design. Information flow analysis is performed to identify one or more signals of interest corresponding to digital assets. From the physical characteristics data and the one or more signals of interest, data representing potentially vulnerable signals in the device hardware design is generated. A leakage model is generated for the potentially vulnerable signals that quantifies one or more leakage criteria for one or more structures of the device hardware design.
