Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Fault analysis for the cryptographic module is roughly divided into two phases; those are injecting transient faults and analysis of faulty outputs. In methods of injecting faults, especially clock glitches, have been frequently used in previous researches. This method has mainly focused on faults caused by setup time violations due to the combinational circuit delay. Since characteristics of faulty outputs due to setup time violations depends on the implementation of combination circuits, the suitable analysis methods for each faulty outputs were proposed. On the other hands, in this paper, we consider the faults caused by time violation on the input of sequential circuits and discuss the possibility of extracting secret keys from the faulty outputs. If the above fault analysis is feasible, we do not need to pay attention to the differences in implementation methods of combination circuits. Because the trend of faulty ciphertexts only depends on the input threshold of sequential circuits and the characteristic of signal rising and falling. In the experiment, after the proposed fault injection method applies to 3 different implementations of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), the same analysis method is used to each faulty outputs and demonstrated that a secret key could be extracted; the effectiveness of the proposed method will be shown.
