dth-order power analysis can safely be defended by dth-order masking method. However, as the degree of applied masking method increases, it can significantly decrease effectiveness of cryptosystem. The existing statistical analysis on high-order power analysis contains only analysis on second power analysis. However, this means absent of safety standards when crypto engineers apply 3rd or more order masking. this absent of standards can lead to insignificant usage of masking method which can significantly decrease effectiveness of cryptosystem. In this dissertation, we have generalize statistical values on high-order power analysis to establish these standards. In other words, we have generalized the value of a correlation coefficient when calculation of high-order power analysis methods are performed. That is to say, it can greatly be used to indicate a degrees that can be applied on further usage of masking method.

본 논문에서는 음성의 모델을 이용하여 확률적인 기반으로 잡음의 마스킹 정도를 측정하는 방법에 대해서 제시한다. 잡음의 마스킹 정도를 측정하는 기준으로서 '잡음 마스킹 확률'을 구하는 방법에 대해서 설명하고 이의 특성에 대해서 알아본다. 그리고 잡음에 대한 '잡음 마스킹 확률'을 이용하여 잡음 환경에서의 음성인식 특징벡터의 성능 향상에 대해 적용해 보았다. 제안된 방법은 ETSI 에서 음성인식 표준실험으로 제시한 Aurora2 데이터베이스 상에서 실험해 보았다. 그 결과 기존의 알고리즘에 비해 16.58%의 성능 향상을 이루어 낼 수 있었다.

Masking technique that is most widely known as countermeasure against power analysis attack prevents leakage for sensitive information during the implementations of cryptography algorithm. it have been studied extensively until now applied on block cipher algorithms. Masking countermeasure have been applied to international standard SEED algorithm. Masked SEED algorithm proposed by Cho et al, not only protects against first order power analysis attacks but also efficient by reducing the execution of Arithmetic to Boolean converting function. In this paper, we analyze the vulnerability of Cho's algorithm against first order power analysis attacks. We targeted additional pre-computation to improve the efficiency in order to recover the random mask value being exploited in first order power analysis attacks. We describe weakness by considering both theoretical and practical aspects and are expecting to apply on every device equipped with cho's algorithm using the proposed attack method.

We present a new watermark design tool for digital images and digital videos that are based on human visual system (HVS) characteristics. In this tool, basic mechanisms (inhibitory and excitatory behaviour of cells) of HVS are used to determine image dependent upper bound values on watermark insertion. This allows us to insert maximai allowable transparent watermark, which in turn is extremely hard to attack with common image processing, Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) compression. As the number of details (e.g. edges) increases in an image, the HVS decrease its sensitivity to the details. In the same manner, as the number of motion increases in a video signal, the HVS decrease its sensitivity to the motions. We model this decreased sensitivity to the details and motions as an (motion) entropy masking. Entropy masking model can be efficiently used to increase the robustness of image and video watermarks. We have shown that our entropy-masking model provides watermark scheme with increased transparency and henceforth increased robustness.

P. Kocher에 의해 DPA 공격이 소개된 이후 이를 방어하기 위한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고있다. 그에 대한 일환으로 블록암호알고리즘 구현 시 소프트웨어적인 대응방안으로 마스킹 기반의 대응기법이 많이 사용되고 있으며 이는 1차 DPA 공격에 안전한 것으로 인지되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 부주의하게 구현된 마스킹 기반의 대응기법이 2차 DPA 공격이 아닌 1차 DPA 공격에도 취약한 사실을 증명하였으며 이를 실험을 통해서 검증하였다.

클라우드 시대가 도래함에 따라 클라우드 상에 생성, 저장되는 정보의 보호 또한 중요해지고 있다. 현재 정보보호를 위해 주로 암호화 기법을 사용하고 있지만 정보유출 및 해킹 등 보안사고의 우려로 클라우드 이용률이 저조한 상황이다. 암호화 외에 안전성이 높은 자료은닉을 위해 데이터 마스킹과 블록체인을 활용하는 것이 높은 호환성과 효율성을 가질 수 있는지 연구하고자 한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 암호화를 사용한 이중 사용자 인증, 데이터 마스킹을 사용한 가상 마스킹 데이터베이스, 블록체인을 사용한 데이터베이스 트랜잭션 공유를 제안하였다. 각각의 제안 방법을 통해 비인가된 사용자의 접근을 통제하고, 정보 유출 시 피해 방지와 위변조 방지의 역할을 수행할 수 있게 된다.

In this paper we introduce a new side-channel attack using block cipher cryptanalysis named meet-in-the middle attack. Using our new side-channel technique we introduce side-channel attacks on AES with reduced masked rounds. That is, we show that AES with reduced 10 masked rounds is vulnerable to side channel attacks based on an existing 4-round function. This shows that one has to mask the entire rounds of the 12-round 192-bit key AES to prevent our attacks. Our results are the first ones to analyze AES with reduced 10 masked rounds.

ARIA is a 128-bit block cipher, which became a Korean Standard in 2004. According to recent research this cipher is attacked by first order DPA attack In this paper, we explain a masking technique that is a countermeasure against first order DPA attack and apply it to the ARIA. And we implemented a masked ARIA for the 8 bit microprocessor based on AVR in software. By using this countermeasure, we verified that it is secure against first order DPA attack.

1999년 P.Kocher에 의해 전력분석공격에 대한 연구결과가 발표된 이후, 부채널 공격에 의한 많은 암호장치들의 취약성 및 대응방법들에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 지금까지 제안된 대응방법중 마스킹 기법이 소프트웨어적으로 구현하는데 가장 효율적이다. 하지만, 최근 마스킹이 적용될 AES에 대한 효율적인 2차 DPA 공격결과가 발표되었다. 본 논문에서는 마스킹이 적용된 국가표준암호 ARIA를 대상으로 2차 DPA 공격을 성공적으로 수행하였다.

In this paper, we show that the Chinese standard block cipher SM4 is vulnerable to the side channel attacks and present a countermeasure to resist them. We firstly validate that the secret key of SM4 can be recovered by differential power analysis(DPA) and correlation power analysis(CPA) attacks. Therefore we analyze the vulnerable element caused by power attack and propose a first order masking-based countermeasure to defeat DPA and CPA attacks. Although the proposed countermeasure unfortunately is still vulnerable to the profiling power attacks such as deep learning-based multi layer perceptron(MLP), it can sufficiently overcome the non-profiling attacks such as DPA and CPA.
