ML-based classification for power side-channel attack on the SEAL Homomorphic Encryption Library:  (a) An example of averaged power trace corresponds to an addition operation in the butterfly operation, (b) principal component analysis (PCA) scores for power traces with the samples from 200 to 350 corresponds to addition operations, (c) PCA scores for power traces with samples from 200 to 350 corresponds to subtraction operations.
