Secure Wire Shuffling in the Probing Model

Jean-Sebastien Coron and Lorenzo Spignoli

Abstract

In this paper we describe the first improvement of the wire shuffling countermeasure against side-channel attacks described by Ishai, Sahai and Wagner at Crypto 2003. More precisely, we show how to get worst case statistical security against $t$ probes with running time ${\mathcal O}(t)$ instead of ${\mathcal O}(t \log t)$; our construction is also much simpler. Recall that the classical masking countermeasure achieves perfect security but with running time ${\mathcal O}(t^2)$.
