Breaking Public Key Cryptosystems on Tamper Resistant Devices in the Presence of Transient Faults
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a method of attacking public-key cryptosystems (PKCs) on tamper resistant devices. The attack makes use of transient faults and seems applicable to many types of PKCs. In particular, we show how to attack the RSA, the ElGamal signature scheme, the Schnorr signature scheme, and the DSA. We also present some possible methods to counter the attack.

Differential Fault Analysis of Secret Key Cryptosystems
In September 1996 Boneh, Demillo, and Lipton from Bellcore announced a new type of cryptanalytic attack which exploits computational errors to find cryptographic keys. Their attack is based on algebraic properties of modular arithmetic, and thus it is applicable only to public key cryptosystems such as RSA, and not to secret key algorithms such as the Data Encryption Standard (DES) . In this pa...

متن کاملProbing Attacks on Tamper-Resistant Devices
This paper describes a new type of attack on tamper-resistant cryptographic hardware. We show that by locally observing the value of a few RAM or adress bus bits (possibly a single one) during the execution of a cryptographic algorithm, typically by the mean of a probe (needle), an attacker could easily recover information on the secret key being used; our attacks apply to public-key cryptosyst...
متن کاملA lightweight and anonymous copyright-protection protocol
Gradually, copyright-protection protocols have attracted much attention in that they provide effective copyright protection mechanisms. Asymmetric copyright-protection protocols allow the buyer to know and possess the protected content yet the seller has no idea about it. Subsequently, if an illegal copy is found, the seller can identify the buyer by cooperating with a trusted third party. Most...
متن کاملQTRU: quaternionic version of the NTRU public-key cryptosystems
In this paper we will construct a lattice-based public-key cryptosystem using non-commutative quaternion algebra, and since its lattice does not fully fit within Circular and Convolutional Modular Lattice (CCML), we prove it is arguably more secure than the existing lattice-based cryptosystems such as NTRU. As in NTRU, the proposed public-key cryptosystem relies for its inherent securi...
