Power and Electromagnetic Analysis for Template Attacks
Résumé
Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is prone to physical attacks exploring side-channel leakages from power consumption or electromagnetic emanations. When performing a side-channel evaluation of ECC implementations one can choose among different side-channels and analysis methods that sometimes implies more accurate results. Typically, electromagnetic analysis performs better when pattern matching algorithms are deployed, while power analysis is more precise with Hamming weight models. In this paper, we perform template attacks with power and electromagnetic side-channels, in order to compare the efficiency of those methods in real-world software implementations.
More precisely, we perform Online Template Attack, an efficient attack technique applied to regular scalar multiplication algorithms. To retrieve the secret scalar during a scalar-multiplication with Online Template Attack, it is sufficient to acquire one trace per key bit. In order to compare power and electromagnetic analysis, we use the double-and-add-always algorithm on a twisted Edwards curve running on a smart card with an ATmega163 CPU.
