چکیده

The purpose of this paper is to propose a design technique for improving the resistance of the Quasi Delay Insensitive (QDI) Asynchronous logic against Differential Power Analysis Attacks. This countermeasure exploits the properties of the QDI circuit acknowledgement signals to introduce temporal variations so as to randomly desynchronize the data processing times. The efficiency of the countermeasure, in terms of DPA resistance, is formally presented and analyzed. Electrical simulations performed on a DES crypto-processor confirm the relevancy of the approach, showing a drastic reduction of the DPA peaks, thus increasing the complexity of a DPA attack on QDI asynchronous circuits.

Path Swapping Method to Improve DPA Resistance of Quasi Delay Insensitive Asynchronous Circuits

This paper presents a Path Swapping (PS) method which enables to enhance the security of Quasi Delay Insensitive Asynchronous Circuits against Power Analysis (PA) attack. This approach exploits the logical symmetries of the QDI asynchronous blocks, particularly its data-path redundancies, to make all electrical curves used when implementing a PA attacks useless. Indeed, the idea is to average t...

Quasi-delay-insensitive Circuits Are Turing-complete

Quasi-delay-insensitive (QDI) circuits are those whose correct operation does not depend on the delays of operators or wires, except for certain wires that form isochronic forks. In this paper we show that quasi-delay-insensitivity, stability and non-interference, and strong connuence are equivalent properties of a computation. In particular, this shows that QDI computations are deterministic. ...

Security Evaluation of DPA Countermeasures Using Dual-Rail Pre-charge Logic Style

In recent years, some countermeasures against Differential Power Analysis (DPA) at the logic level have been proposed. At CHES 2005 conference, Popp and Mangard proposed a new countermeasure named Masked Dual-Rail Pre-Charge Logic (MDPL) which combine dual-rail circuits with random masking to improve Wave Dynamic Differential Logic (WDDL). The proposers of MDPL claim that it can implement secur...
