A New Leakage Exploitation Framework and Its Application to Authenticated Encryption

June 21, 2023

Presenters

Vahid Jahandideh - Radboud University

Description

We target a 32-bit XOR instruction with a secret input and a known random operand and recover the secret with around 10K traces. Based on the leakage of this linear instruction, we propose a framework for power analysis of the unprotected software implementations of finalists of the NIST lightweight cryptography competition. The approach applies to (almost) all finalists and clarifies which details in their design enable successful power analysis attacks. Furthermore, the diversity of the studied ciphers in this work elucidates how mode and primitive design can help to mitigate leakage without demanding a heavy masking countermeasure that conflicts with the lightweight design goals.
