Methods, machine readable media and systems for performing side channel analysis are described. In one embodiment, a method, performed on a data processing system, can receive input data that contains an RTL representation of a design of a circuit and then determine, from the input data, a set of registers that store security related data during operation of the circuit, wherein the set of registers are a subset of all of the registers in the design. The method then determines, in a simulation of power consumption of the set of registers in the RTL representation, security metrics that indicate a level of potential leakage of security related data such as secret or private cryptographic keys.
