Side Channel Cryptanalysis of a Higher Order Masking Scheme
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the recent years, DPA attacks have been widely investigated. In particular, 2-nd order DPA have been improved and successfully applied to break many masked implementations. In this context a higher order masking scheme has been proposed by Schramm and Paar at CTRSA 2006. The authors claimed that the scheme is resistant against d-th order DPA for any arbitrary chosen order d. In this paper, we prove that this assertion is false and we exhibit several 3-rd order DPA attacks that can defeat Schramm and Paar’s countermeasure for any value of d.

An efficient secure channel coding scheme based on polar codes
In this paper, we propose a new framework for joint encryption encoding scheme based on polar codes, namely efficient and secure joint secret key encryption channel coding scheme. The issue of using new coding structure, i.e. polar codes in Rao-Nam (RN) like schemes is addressed. Cryptanalysis methods show that the proposed scheme has an acceptable level of security with a relatively smaller ke...
متن کاملSecurity analysis of higher-order Boolean masking schemes for block ciphers (with conditions of perfect masking)
Side-channel attacks are an important class of cryptanalytic techniques against cryptographic implementations and masking is a frequently considered solution to improve the resistance of a cryptographic implementation against side-channel attacks. In this paper, we consequently analyze the security of higher-order Boolean masking schemes in various contexts. Our results are twofold. First, we f...
متن کاملAnalysis and Improvement of the Generic Higher-Order Masking Scheme of FSE 2012
Masking is a well-known technique used to prevent block cipher implementations from side-channel attacks. Higher-order side channel attacks (e.g. higher-order DPA attack) on widely used block cipher like AES have motivated the design of efficient higher-order masking schemes. Indeed, it is known that as the masking order increases, the difficulty of side-channel attack increases exponentially. ...
متن کاملHigher Order Masking of the AES
The development of masking schemes to secure AES implementations against side channel attacks is a topic of ongoing research. Many different approaches focus on the AES S-box and have been discussed in the previous years. Unfortunately, to our knowledge most of these countermeasures only address firstorder DPA. In this article, we discuss the theoretical background of higher order DPA. We give ...
متن کاملHigher-Order Masking and Shuffling for Software Implementations of Block Ciphers
Differential Power Analysis (DPA) is a powerful side channel key recovery attack that efficiently breaks block ciphers implementations. In software, two main techniques are usually applied to thwart them: masking and operations shuffling. To benefit from the advantages of the two techniques, recent works have proposed to combine them. However, the schemes which have been designed until now only...
