Another Look at Side-Channel Resistant Encoding Schemes

ePrint Report: Another Look at Side-Channel Resistant Encoding Schemes

Xiaolu Hou, Jakub Breier, Mladen Kovačević

The idea of balancing the side-channel leakage in software was proposed more than a decade ago. Just like with other hiding-based countermeasures, the goal is not to hide the leakage completely but to significantly increase the effort required for the attack. Previous approaches focused on two directions: either balancing the Hamming weight of the processed data or deriving the code by using stochastic leakage profiling. …
