The cipher block chaining (CBC) block cipher mode of operation was invented by IBM (International Business Machine) in 1976. It presents a very popular way of encrypting which is used in various applications. In this paper, we have mathematically proven that, under some conditions, the CBC mode of operation can admit a chaotic behaviour according to Devaney. Some cases will be properly studied in order to put in evidence this idea.

Fault attacks are powerful and efficient cryptanalysis techniques to find the secret key of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. These attacks are based on injecting faults into the structure of the AES to obtain the confidential information. To protect the AES implementation against these attacks, a number of countermeasures have been proposed.In this paper, we propose a fault detection scheme for the Advanced Encryption Standard. We present its details implementation in each transformation of the AES. The simulation results show that the fault coverage achieves 99.999% for the proposed scheme. Moreover, the proposed fault detection scheme has been implemented on Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA. Its area overhead and frequency degradation have been compared and it is shown that the proposed scheme achieves a good performance in terms of area and frequency
