Abstract(in English) Random Switching Logic is a countermeasure to DPA that removes the relation between data and power consumption by making the transition probability of each gate uniform using random numbers. In this paper, we applied a countermeasure to DPA against cryptographic devices implemented on FPGA. The countermeasure removes the relation between data and power consumption by making the transition probability of each operation instead of each gate. Results of experiments reveal that the countermeasure improves the DPA resistance. Considering that an operation module is placed on multiple LUTs, the results imply that the relation between information leak and power consumption of FPGA interconnects of switching matrix is insignificant. Implementation of the countermeasure is simple because the circuits are modularized at operation level instead of gate level.
