A side-channel analysis resistant reconfigurable cryptographic coprocessor is designed and fabricated in 0.18μm CMOS with 1.8V supply and 100MHz frequency, supporting multiple block cipher algorithms of AES, DES, RC6 and IDEA. Our countermeasure utilizes idle processing elements existed in reconfigurable array to do dummy operations to hide leakage information. This method has little impact on area and frequency, and it is flexible after silicon. It resists SPA and DPA without distinguishing the encryption region. And by correlation-based electromagnetic analysis, measurement to disclosure of DES enhances 36 times with partial countermeasures and AES discloses no subkey after more than one million electromagnetic traces with full countermeasures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
