Side-channel attacks are always connected with things like algorithms. But the fact is that the side-channel attack benefits some usually small but destructive vulnerabilities in physical infrastructure. In the worst case, people can have a straight line to see through the window what people are writing on their screens while they are walking on the streets. The side-channel attack means that the attacker benefits from physical vulnerabilities. In Wikipedia, the description of the side-channel attack goes like this. "In computer security, a side-channel attack is any attack based on extra information that can be gathered because of the fundamental way a computer protocol or algorithm is implemented, rather than flaws in the design of the protocol or algorithm itself (e.g. flaws found in cryptanalysis of a cryptographic algorithm) or minor, but potentially devastating, mistakes or oversights in the implementation. (Cryptanalysis also includes searching for side-channel attacks.) T
