A novel power analysis attack resilient adiabatic logic without charge sharing

Abstract

Abstract-In this paper, we propose a novel power analysis attack resilient adiabatic logic which, unlike existing secure adiabatic logic designs doesn't require any charge sharing between the output nodes of the gates. The proposed logic also removes the non-adiabatic losses (NAL) during the evaluation phase of the power-clock. We investigate and compare our proposed and the existing secure adiabatic logic across a range of "power-clock" frequencies on the basis of percentage Normalized Energy Deviation (%NED), percentage Normalized Standard Deviation(%NSD) and average energy dissipation. The prelayout and post-layout simulation results show that our proposed logic exhibits the least value of %NED and %NSD in comparison to the existing secure adiabatic logic designs at the frequency ranging from 1MHz to 100MHz. Also, our proposed logic consumes the lowest energy.
