Abstract

Since many internet of things (IoT) devices are threatened by side-channel attacks, security measures are essential for their safe use. However, there are a variety of IoT devices, so the accuracy required depends on the system’s application. In addition, security related to arithmetic operations has been attracting attention in recent years. Therefore, this paper presents an empirical experiment of masking for adders on field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and explores the trade-off between cost and security by varying the bit length of the mask. The experimental results show that masking improves power analysis attack resistance, and increasing the bit length of the random numbers used for masking increases security. In particular, the series-connected masked adder is found to be effective in improving power analysis attack resistance.

Abstract

Many internet of things (IoT) devices and integrated circuit (IC) cards have been compromised by side-channel attacks. Power-analysis attacks, which identify the secret key of a cryptographic circuit by analyzing the power traces, are among the most dangerous side-channel attacks. Gen-erally, there is a trade-off between execution time and circuit area. However, the correlation between security and performance has yet to be determined. In this study, we investigate the cor-relation between side-channel attack resistance and performance (execution time and circuit area) of advanced encryption standard (AES) circuits. Eleven AES circuits with different performances are designed by high-level synthesis and logic synthesis. Of the eleven AES circuits, six are circuits with no side-channel attack countermeasures and five are circuits with masking countermeasures. We employ four metrics based on a T-test to evaluate the side-channel attack resistance. The results based on the correlation coefficient show the correlation between side-channel attack resistance and performance. The correlation varies according to four metrics or masking countermeasure. We argue that designers should change their attitudes towards circuit design when considering security.
