Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose a new fault analysis attack technique using Clockwise Collision. Generally, for the combinational circuit in a synchronous design, if signal states of consecutive two cycles are same, the delay time of the second cycle is zero. Focusing on this fact, for the fault attack using setup time violation, we find out that it is difficult for an attacker to induce a fault in the operation in which Clockwise Collision occurs. As a case study, we apply this technique to Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) implementation using Lopez-Dahab algorithm. Consequently, we succeeded in identifying the secret key. Our proposed attack technique is valid even if the Z coordinate of the input point is randomized. Therefore, we show that this technique is more powerful than the previous attack technique using Fault Sensitivity Analysis.
