| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | Measuring microscopic variation of physical quantity such as power consumption or electromagnetic emanation of cryptographic hardware may be utilized to the so-called side channel attacks for estimating inside information. We have pointed out that if the cryptographic hardware has LED pilot lamps or LED indicators then they can serve as side channels. Namely the LEDs may leak inside information of cryptographic hardware. In this note we prove it by conducting two experiments for a single-chip micro-controller (AVR) with a LED pilot lamp. First, we confirm that for a data processed inside the micro-controller chip its Hamming weight is related to the brightness of LED. Second, we reveal a secret key of AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) implemented in AVR by analyzing the measured brightness of LED by CPA (Correlation Power Analysis). In conclusion we should pay attention to the fact when implementing LEDs on cryptographic hardware. | |
