AES algorithm-oriented anti-power attack method and circuit implementation

Abstract

The invention provides a power attack prevention method oriented at an AES algorithm and a circuit achieving method of the power attack prevention method oriented at the AES algorithm. According to the basic principle, a control module and redundancy registers are added to an AES algorithm circuit. The AES algorithm selects the position of a register storing middle calculation data in each turn according to a zone bit generated by the control module, so that the middle data of each turn of encryption operation are alternatively stored in the different registers, the Hamming distance of the middle data of the AES algorithm is effectively hidden, and the AES algorithm can resist power analysis attacks based on a Hamming distance model. The power attack prevention method oriented at the AES algorithm and the circuit achieving method of the power attack prevention method oriented at the AES algorithm have the advantages of being high in flexibility, small in area cost, high in power attack resistance and the like, and provide a good resolution scheme for designing safe chips.
