Efficient Fault Detection Architectures for Modular Exponentiation Targeting Cryptographic Applications Benchmarked on FPGAs

arXiv:2402.18033v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Whether stemming from malicious intent or natural occurrences, faults and errors can significantly undermine the reliability of any architecture. In response to this challenge, fault detection assumes a pivotal role in ensuring the secure deployment of cryptosystems. Even when a cryptosystem boasts mathematical security, its practical implementation may remain susceptible to exploitation through side-channel attacks. In this paper, we propose a lightweight fault detection architecture tailored for modular exponentiation, a building block of numerous cryptographic …
