Built-in Determined Sub-key Correlation Power Analysis
Yuichi Komano, Hideo Shimizu, and Shinichi Kawamura
Abstract
Correlation power analysis (CPA) is a well-known attack against cryptographic modules with which an attacker evaluates the correlation between the power consumption and the sensitive data candidate calculated from a guessed sub-key and known data (plaintext or ciphertext). This paper enhances CPA to propose a new general power analysis, \textit{build-in determined sub-key CPA} (BS-CPA), that finds a new sub-key by using the previously determined sub-keys recursively to compute the sensitive data candidate and to increase the signal-to-noise ratio in its analysis. BS-CPA is powerful and effective when the multiple sbox outputs (or corresponding data) are processed simultaneously as in the hardware implementation. We apply BS-CPA to the power consumption traces provided at the DPA contest and succeed in finding DES key less than the original CPA does.
