Guarding the First Order: The Rise of AES Maskings
, KU Leuven COSIC-imec, KU Leuven COSIC-imec, University of Bergen, KU Leuven COSIC-imec, University of Bergen, KU Leuven COSIC-imecAbstract
We provide three first-order hardware maskings of the AES, each allowing for a different trade-off between the number of shares and the number of register stages. All maskings use a generalization of the changing of the guards method enabling the re-use of randomness between masked S-boxes. As a result, the maskings do not require fresh randomness while still allowing for a minimal number of shares and providing provable security in the glitch-extended probing model. The low-area variant has five cycles of latency and a serialized area cost of $8.13~kGE$. The low-latency variant reduces the latency to three cycles while increasing the serialized area by $67.89\%$ compared to the low-area variant. The maskings of the AES encryption are implemented on FPGA and evaluated with Test Vector Leakage Assessment (TVLA).
Note: Changed Table 1 and 2 to show the number of register layers instead of cycles for the S-box.
