Abstract(in English) Full scan designs are popular ones for testability. However, the application of full scan designs for encryption circuits causes leaks of secret informations. In this paper, we propose a design for testability(DFT)method to increase fault coverage maintaining security for RSA encryption circuits. First, partial scan design that critical registers including secret informations are not replaced with scan registers is applied to the circuits. Second, XOR trees are inserted into the circuits to increase the observabilities. XOR tree prevent secret informations from leaking out by compacting several observation points to one scan register. Finally, control points are inserted into the circuits to increase the contrallabitlities. Security and testability are compatible on scan designs by applying the proposed DFT method. Experimental results for RSA encryption circuits show that the proposed DFT method can achieve the almost same high fault efficiency as full scan design maintaining.
