Abstract(in English) In this paper we investigate side-channel attacks on modular exponentiation based on RNS Montgomery multiplication. We consider two types of attack. Both attacks try to distinguish RNS Montgomery multiplication from RNS Montgomery squaring by side-channel information. If standard binary method is used, secret RSA exponents can be deduced by these attacks. The first attack is a chosen message attack proposed in [8]. We show at most one-fourth of 512-bit modulus are vulnerable to this attack. The second attack is a statistical analysis on timing differences caused by base extension of RNS Montgomery multiplication. We show the differences are equally distributed at RNS Montgomery squaring and RNS Montgomery multiplication. Therefore an attacker gets no information about secret RSA exponents and we conclude this attack is not effective.
