| Abstract(in English) | Usually, when inputing different values (e.g. plaintext, ciphertext or secret key) to a cryptosystem, there is a little difference for amounts of time to process the system. Performance optimizations to bypass unnecessary operations, branching and conditional statements may be some of reasons. Performance characteristics of cryptosystems generally depend on both the encryption or decryption key and the input data. Therefore, attackers can find out the secret information of cryptosystems if there is a way of measuring the amount of processing time. This cryptanalysis is called a timing attack. In this paper, we confirm effectiveness of the timing attack on cryptosystems using discrete logarithm problem, and propose a method of estimating secret key from timing measurements. |
