Abstract

The invention discloses a power supply isolation device and isolation method for preventing side channel attacks, the power supply isolation device comprises a first energy storage module, a first switch module, a clock gating module and a control module, the control module outputs control signals to the first switch module and the clock gating module respectively, so that the clock gating module is switched on and switched off when an external power supply supplies power. The control module is used for controlling the clock gating module to stop outputting the working clock signal under the condition that the external power supply stops supplying power and controlling the clock gating module to output the working clock signal under the condition that the external power supply stops supplying power; according to the technical scheme, by controlling power supply switching of the external power supply and the energy storage module and synchronously controlling starting and stopping of the clock signal, the protected circuit only runs in the state that the protected circuit is isolated from the external power supply and powered by the energy storage module, so that side channel leakage paths of the power supply, current, power consumption, electromagnetism, time sequence and the like are effectively cut off; hardware-level protection against side channel attacks is achieved, and the safety and the anti-analysis capability of a protected circuit are remarkably improved.
