A differential fault analysis(DFA) is one of the most important side channel attacks on block ciphers. Most block ciphers, such as DES, AES, ARIA, SEED and so on., have been analysed by this attack. In 2008, Wei et al. proposed the first DFA on ARIA-128. Their attack can recover the 128-bit secrey key by about 45 faulty ciphertexts. In this paper, we propose an improved DFA on ARIA-128. We can recover the 12S-bit secret key by only 4 faulty ciphertexts with the computational complexity of O($2^{32}$).

Correlation Power Analysis (CPA) is a type of Side-Channel Analysis (SCA) that extracts the secret key using the correlation coefficient both side-channel information leakage by cryptography device and intermediate value of algorithms. Attack performance of the CPA is affected by noise and temporal synchronization of power consumption leaked. In the recent years, various researches about the signal processing have been presented to improve the performance of power analysis. Among these signal processing techniques, compression techniques of the signal based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has been presented. Selection of the principal components is an important issue in signal compression based on PCA. Because selection of the principal component will affect the performance of the analysis. In this paper, we present a method of selecting the principal component by using the correlation of the principal components and the power consumption is high and a CPA technique based on the principal component that utilizes the feature that the principal component has different. Also, we prove the performance of our method by carrying out the experiment.

The SITM (See-In-The-Middle) proposed in CHES 2020 is a methodology for side-channel assisted differential cryptanalysis. This technique analyzes the power traces of unmasked middle rounds in partial masked SPN block cipher implementation, and performs differential analysis with the side channel information. Blockcipher GIFT is a lightweight blockcipher proposed in CHES 2017, designed to correct the well-known weaknesses of block cipher PRESENT and provide the efficient implementation. In this paper, we propose SITM attacks on partial masked implementation of GIFT-128. This attack targets 4-round and 6-round masked implementation of GIFT-128 and time/data complexity is 2^14.01 /2^14.01, 2¹⁶ /2¹⁶. In this paper, we compare the masterkey recovery logic available in SITM attacks, establishing a criterion for selecting more efficient logic depending on the situation. Finally, We introduce how to apply the this attack to GIFT-COFB, one of the finalist candidates in NIST lightweight cryptography standardization process.

As the need for a deep learning accelerator increases with the development of IoT equipment, research on the implementation and safety verification of the deep learning accelerator is actively. In this paper, we propose a new side channel analysis methodology for secret information that overcomes the limitations of the previous study in Usenix 2019. We overcome the disadvantage of limiting the range of weights and restoring only a portion of the weights in the previous work, and restore the IEEE754 32bit single-precision with 99% accuracy with a new method using CPA. In addition, it overcomes the limitations of existing studies that can reverse activation functions only for specific inputs. Using deep learning, we reverse activation functions with 99% accuracy without conditions for input values with a new method. This paper not only overcomes the limitations of previous studies, but also proves that the proposed new methodology is effective.

At FDTC'05 and CISC-W'10, the authors showed that if they decrease the number of rounds of AES and Triple-DES by using the fault injections, it is possible to recover the secret key of the target algorithms, respectively. In this paper, we propose a key recovery attack on HMAC by using the main idea of these attacks. This attack is applicable to HMAC based on MD-family hash functions and can recover the secret key with the negligible computational complexity. Particularly, the attack result on HMAC-SHA-2 is the first known key recovery attack result on this algorithm.

It has been found that an attacker can extract the secret key embedded in a security device and recover the operation instruction using power consumption traces which are some kind of side channel information. Many profiling-based side channel attacks based on a deep learning model such as MLP(Multi-Layer Perceptron) method are recently researched. In this paper, we implemented a disassembler for operation instruction set used in the micro-controller AVR XMEGA128-D4. After measuring the template traces on each instruction, we automatically made the pre-processing process and classified the operation instruction set using a deep learning model CNN. As an experimental result, we showed that all instructions are classified with 87.5% accuracy and some core instructions used frequently in device operation are with 99.6% respectively.

Cache-based side-channel attacks have achieved more attention along with the development of cloud computing technologies. However, current host-based mitigation methods either provide bad compatibility with current cloud infrastructure, or turn out too application-specific. Besides, they are defending blindly without any knowledge of on-going attacks. In this work, we present CacheSCDefender, a framework that provides a (Virtual Machine Monitor) VMM-based comprehensive defense framework against all levels of cache attacks. In designing CacheSCDefender, we make three key contributions: (1) an attack-aware framework combining our novel dynamic remapping and traditional cache cleansing, which provides a comprehensive defense against all three cases of cache attacks that we identify in this paper; (2) a new defense method called dynamic remapping which is a developed version of random permutation and is able to deal with two cases of cache attacks; (3) formalization and quantification of security improvement and performance overhead of our defense, which can be applicable to other defense methods. We show that CacheSCDefender is practical for deployment in normal virtualized environment, while providing favorable security guarantee for virtual machines.

This paper has investigated the susceptibility of an FPGA implementation of a block cipher against side channel analysis attacks. We have performed DPA attacks and DEMA attacks (in the nea. and far field) on an FPGA implementation of ARIA which has been implemented into two architectures of S-box. Although the number of needed traces for a successful attack is increased when compared with existing results on smart cards, we have shown that ARIA without countermeasures is indeed very susceptible to side channel analysis attacks regardless of an architecture of S-box.

In this paper, we propose a fault injection attack on stream cipher A5/3 used in GSM. The fault assumption of this attack is based on that of fault injection attacks proposed in FDTC'05 and CISC-W'10. This attack is applicable to A5/3 supporting 64/128-bit session key, respectively, and can recover the session key by using a small number of fault injections. These works are the first known key recovery attack results on A5/3.

The block cipher HIGHT is designed suitable for low-resource hardware implementation. It established as the TTA standard and ISO/IEC 18033-3 standard. In this paper, we propose a differentail fault attack against the block cipher HIGHT. In the proposed attack, we assume that an attacker is possible to inject a random byte fault in the input value of the 28-th round. This attack can recover the secret key by using the differential property between the original ciphertext and fault cipher text pairs. Using 7 and 12 error, our attack recover secret key within a few second with success probability 87% and 51%, respectively.
