This research demonstrates the revealing of an advanced encryption standard (AES) encryption device key. The encryption device is applied to an ATMEGA328P microcontroller. The said microcontroller is a device commonly used in internet of things (IoT). We measured power consumption when the encryption process is taking place. The message sent to the encryption device is randomly generated, but the key used has a fixed value. The novelty of this research is the creation of a systematic and
