چکیده
We apply power analysis on known elliptic curve cryptosystems, and consider an exact implementation of scalar multiplication on elliptic curves for resisting against power attacks. Our proposed algorithm does not decrease the computational performance compared to the conventional scalar multiplication algorithm, whereas previous methods did cost the performance or fail to protect against power analysis attacks.

Secure Elliptic Curve Exponentiation against RPA, ZRA, DPA, and SPA
SUMMARY In the execution on a smart card, side channel attacks such as the simple power analysis (SPA) and the differential power analysis (DPA) have become serious threat. Side channel attacks monitor the side channel information such as power consumption and even exploit the leakage information related to power consumption to reveal bits of a secret key d although d is hidden inside a smart c...
متن کاملOn the Optimal Parameter Choice for Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems Using Isogeny
The isogeny for elliptic curve cryptosystems was initially used for the efficient improvement of order counting methods. Recently, Smart proposed the countermeasure using isogeny for resisting the refined differential power analysis by Goubin (Goubin’s attack). In this paper, we examine the countermeasure using isogeny against zero-value point (ZVP) attack that is generalization of Goubin’s att...
متن کاملA Refined Power-Analysis Attack on Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems
As Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems are becoming more and more popular and are included in many standards, an increasing demand has appeared for secure implementations that are not vulnerable to sidechannel attacks. To achieve this goal, several generic countermeasures against Power Analysis have been proposed in recent years. In particular, to protect the basic scalar multiplication – on an ellipt...
متن کاملPertinent Side Channel Attacks on Elliptic Curve Cryptographic Systems
Elliptic curve cryptosystems have become the most trusted, secure systems in widespread use today. However, the recent advent of utilizing side channel information poses an immediate and powerful threat to systems which are not prepared for this exact type of attack. Side channel analysis (SCA) attacks use some measured quantities outside the scope of the actual cryptographic algorithm, in addi...
متن کاملImplementation of Elliptic Curve Cryptography with Built-In Counter Measures against Side Channel Attacks
Many software implementations of public key cryptosystems have been concerned with efficiency. The advent of side channel attacks, such as timing and power analysis attacks, force us to reconsider the strategy of implementation of group arithmetic. This paper presents a study of software counter measures against side channel attacks for elliptic curve cryptosystems. We introduce two new counter...
