Abstract(in English) Scan test is one of the useful design for testability techniques, which can detect circuit failure efficiently. However, it has been reported that it's possible to retrieve secret keys from cryptographic LSIs through scan chains. Therefore a secure scan architecture using SDSFF (State Dependent Scan Flip-Flop) against scan-based attack which achieves high security without compromising the testability is proposed. In SDSFF, there is a problem which is the update timing of the latch which added to the scan FF. In this paper, we propose the update timing to online test without sacrificing the security. In our method, the latches are updated by result which the value of KEY which decided when designed compared with any FFs in a scan chain. We show that by using proposed method, neither the secret key nor the testability of an RSA circuit implementation is compromised, and the effectiveness of the proposed method According the result, even with 100 SDSFFs, the introduced area overhead is 0.555% which less than the conventional method.
