Physical machines don't prevent keys from leaking out. A physical attacker can analyze power usage usage patterns to extract the encryption key. :)

I don't think you have that sidechannel with AES-NI. Besides, as a physical attacker cold boot attack would be much easier Or if the server has any interfaces with DMA, like PCI or something, that's even easier.

Wouldn't that require physical access?
