Modern side channel attacks are really frustrating. There are so many things to think about.
Although, this one seems easier to patch: Especially modern hardware has dedicated hardware/trustlets to generate keys. If firmware makes them always clock at the same frequency for always the same time when generating keys, there should be no attack vector left.
I haven't read through the preprint yet but I'm also sceptical of the real world applicability of this...
