On the Correctness of an Approach against Side-Channel Attacks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Side-channel attacks are a very powerful cryptanalytic technique. Li and Gu [ProvSec’07] proposed an approach against side-channel attacks, which states that a symmetric encryption scheme is IND-secure in side-channel model, if it is IND-secure in black-box model and there is no adversary who can recover the whole key of the scheme computationally in side-channel model, i.e. WKR-SCA ∧ IND → IND-SCA. Our researches show that it is not the case. We analyze notions of security against key recovery attacks and security against distinguishing attacks, and then construct a scheme which is WKR-SCA-secure and IND-secure, but not IND-SCA-secure in the same side-channel environment. Furthermore, even if the scheme is secure again partial key recovery attacks in side-channel model, this approach still does not hold true.

Side channel parameter characteristics of code injection attacks
Embedded systems are suggestive targets for code injection attacks in the recent years. Software protection mechanisms, and in general computers, are not usually applicable in embedded systems since they have limited resources like memory and process power. In this paper we investigate side channel characteristics of embedded systems and their applicability in code injection attack detection. T...
متن کاملRaccoon: Closing Digital Side-Channels through Obfuscated Execution
Side-channel attacks monitor some aspect of a computer system’s behavior to infer the values of secret data. Numerous side-channels have been exploited, including those that monitor caches, the branch predictor, and the memory address bus. This paper presents a method of defending against a broad class of side-channel attacks, which we refer to as digital side-channel attacks. The key idea is t...
متن کاملA Study on Side Channel Cryptanalysis in Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems
Mobile devices such as smartcards are penetrating in our daily life in order for us to be comfortable. When cryptographic schemes are implemented on computers such as smartcards, side channel attacks are particular menaces to them. Since electric power is provided from the outside of them, the attacker can observe the power consumption while they perform cryptographic operations. In side channe...
متن کاملSCA1 Model: Towards a concrete security approach to the design of cryptosystems secure against side-channel attacks
When implementing cryptosystems on general purpose cryptographic hardware, one takes profit of the Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) displaced by the hardware to code the required cryptosystems. The functions made available by these APIs are divided into two groups, the group of the non-cryptographic functions and the group of the cryptographic primitives. When using these functions, on...
متن کاملISAP - Authenticated Encryption Inherently Secure Against Passive Side-Channel Attacks
Side-channel attacks and in particular differential power analysis (DPA) attacks pose a serious threat to cryptographic implementations. One approach to counteract such attacks are cryptographic schemes based on fresh re-keying. In settings of pre-shared secret keys, such schemes render DPA infeasible by deriving session keys and by ensuring that the attacker cannot collect side-channel leakage...
