Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Cryptography used widely in electronic products is evaluated in terms of computationally-secure, however there is vulnerability of hardware modules to physical attacks by defective implementation of the cryptographic algorithm. Side-channel attacks, which are categorized as noninvasive physical attacks, are considered serious threats to cryptographic modules, and countermeasures and evaluation methods are researched. We have developed and distributed standard evaluation FPGA boards for Side-channel attack evaluation. We have also implemented several AES circuits with DPA countermeasures on the FPGA boards, although the countermeasures require at least 2 times as many logic gates as general AES circuit. The logic capacity of the board is not sufficient for the implementation of more advanced research. In this paper, we develop a new evaluation board in order to improve the functionality of the device. We evaluate the logic capacity and the analog characteristics for side-channel attack experiments and logic capability for countermeasure circuit by comparing between previous and new boards.
