REDUCED COMPLEMENTARY DYNAMIC AND DIFFERENTIAL CMOS LOGIC: A DESIGN METHODOLOGY FOR DPA RESISTANT CRYPTOGRAPHIC CIRCUITS

RAMMOHAN, SRIVIDHYA

Abstract Details

2007, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Computer Engineering.
In recent times, many embedded applications such as mobile phones, smart-cards, etc. use cryptographic devices that use a secret key to encrypt sensitive data to secure it. Encryption algorithms are often challenged during physical implementation (ICs), providing key information to the attackers. Differential Power Analysis (DPA) is a power attack technique uses the difference in power consumed by each input data in conjunction with statistical analysis to extract statistical information that correlates power consumption to the secret key. Our goal is to present a Dynamic Differential Logic style whose power consumption is input independent and which reuses part of circuit to generate differential output. The logic style proposed by us, Reduced Complementary Dynamic and Differential logic (RCDDL) style helps achieve increased DPA resistance with 31.66% improvement in security strength, 14% reduction in power and 7.75% reduction in area on an average when compared to other existing logic styles.
