SYSTEM AND METHODS DIRECTED TO SIDE-CHANNEL POWER RESISTANCE FOR ENCRYPTION ALGORITHMS USING DYNAMIC PARTIAL RECONFIGURATION

摘要

A side-channel attack countermeasure that leverages implementation diversity and dynamic partial reconfiguration as mechanisms to reduce correlation in the power traces measured during a differential power analysis (DPA) attack. The technique changes the underlying hardware implementation of any encryption algorithm using dynamic partial reconfiguration (DPR) to resist side-channel-based attacks.
