Diffusional Side-Channel Leakage From Unrolled Lightweight Block Ciphers: A Case Study of Power Analysis on PRINCE

“…The chosen-input attack scenarios considered in this paper have been used in power analysis against some implementations of block ciphers (e.g., DES [12] and AES [13]).

Against an AES software implementation in which the inner rounds were not protected, Lu et al [17] demonstrated a first-and second-order differential power analysis (DPA) attack that exploits some inner round intermediate values by fixing certain parts of the inputs.…”

“…More concretely, we consider a possible countermeasure that combines TI with register elements (i.e., pipeline registers or deglitchers) following the insights in [7]. A deglitcher is an element that suppresses glitches, and has commonly been implemented using a latch and a delay path with the same length as the critical path of a function, as shown in [10]. The delay path can also be implemented by a series of buffer elements as, for example, in [11].…”
