“…An evaluation of both an unmasked and a masked implementation of Simon for FPGAs was reported in [5]. In [33], the vulnerability of PRINCE and RECTANGLE against DPA is studied. A second line of research focussed on the design of new ligthweight primitives that can be efficiently protected against DPA via masking; representative examples include PICARO [30], Zorro [15], and the LS-designs Robin and Fantomas [17].…”

Abstract. Side-Channel Analysis (SCA) represents a serious threat to the security of millions of smart devices that form part of the so-called Internet of Things (IoT). Choosing the "right" cryptographic primitive for the IoT is a highly challenging task due to the resource constraints of IoT devices and the variety of primitives. An important criterion to assess the suitability of a lightweight cipher with respect to SCA is the amount of leakage available to an adversary. In this paper, we analyze the efficiency of different selection functions that are commonly used in Correlation Power Analysis (CPA) attacks on symmetric primitives. To this end, we attacked implementations of the lightweight block ciphers AES, Fantomas, LBlock, Piccolo, PRINCE, RC5, Simon, and Speck on an 8-bit AVR processor. By exploring the relation between the nonlinearity of the studied selection functions and the measured leakages, we discovered some imperfections when using nonlinearity to quantify the resilience against CPA. Then, we applied these findings in an evaluation of the "intrinsic" CPA-resistance of unprotected implementations of the eight mentioned ciphers. We show that certain implementation aspects can influence the leakage level and try to explain why. Our results shed new light on the resilience of basic operations executed by these ciphers against CPA and help to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

“…Since its introduction, a significant amount of work has been done on the side channel leakage characteristics of PRINCE. CPA attacks have shown a successful recovery of the correct key in a round-based implementation of PRINCE on a SASEBO-G FPGA where the same hardware was re-used iteratively in a loop to compute each round of the encryption operation [24]. A similar analysis was shown for a DPA attack as well.…”

Energy efficiency and security is a critical requirement for computing at edge nodes. Unrolled architectures for lightweight cryptographic algorithms have been shown to be energy-efficient, providing higher performance while meeting resource constraints. Hardware implementations of unrolled datapaths have also been shown to be resistant to side channel analysis (SCA) attacks due to a reduction in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and an increased complexity in the leakage model. This paper demonstrates optimal leakage models and an improved CFA attack which makes it feasible to extract first-order side-channel leakages from combinational logic in the initial rounds of unrolled datapaths. Several leakage models, targeting initial rounds, are explored and 1-bit hamming weight (HW) based leakage model is shown to be an optimal choice. Additionally, multi-band narrow bandpass filtering techniques in conjunction with correlation frequency analysis (CFA) is demonstrated to improve SNR by up to 4×, attributed to the removal of the misalignment effect in combinational logics and signal isolation.  The improved CFA attack is performed on side channel signatures acquired for 7-round unrolled SIMON datapaths, implemented on Sakura-G (XILINX spartan 6, 45nm) based FPGA platform and a 24× reduction in minimum-traces-to-disclose (MTD) for revealing 80% of the key bits is demonstrated with respect to conventional time domain correlation power analysis (CPA). Finally, the proposed method is successfully applied to a fully-unrolled datapath for PRINCE and a parallel round-based datapath for Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm to demonstrate its general applicability.

“…This set of ciphers covers a huge vary of numerous style precept and consists of range of new proposals with interest grabbing residences, we tend to accrued among 2 and up to 20 4 implementations of every cipher to account for diverse change offs among execution time, RAM footprint, and code length. For 9 out of the 19 ciphers we have were given not solely C implementations, but additionally optimized assembly code for the three plate forms we tend to ponder, In overall, our repository consists of over 250 implementations, of that we generally tend to developed kind of scratch [8].

This paper is dedicated on economical and safe accomplishment of lightweight cruciform scientific discipline primordial for reserve guarded devices like wireless sensors and actuators that are usually organize in distant locality. During this setting, scientific discipline algorithms should consume few machine resources and face up to an oversized sort of attacks, as well as side channel attacks. The foremost part of this paper cares with economical software package implementations of lightweight cruciform algorithms on eight, 16, and 32 bit microcontrollers. a primary contribution of this half is that the development of FELICS, benchmarking framework that facilitates the extraction of comparative performance Tables from implementations of lightweight ciphers. mistreatment FELICS, we tend to conducted a good analysis of the implementation properties of five light weight block ciphers within the context of completely different usage situations, that are representatives for common security services within the web of Things (IoT). This study provides new insights into the link between the structure of a scientific discipline formula and therefore the performance it are able to do on embedded microcontrollers. The contributions of this half are considerably valuable for designers of mildweight ciphers, software bundle and protection engineers, moreover as standardization businesses.
