Abstract:
A side-channel attack resistant circuit topology for performing logic functions. This topology includes combinatorial logic to perform the at least one logic function. A logic input selector alternately supplies, in response to a first timing reference signal, an input to the combinatorial logic with noise generating input values and valid input values. A first latch input selector alternately supplies, in response to the first timing reference signal, a first memory element input with noise generating input values and valid logic output values. The valid logic output values are received from the combinatorial logic. A first memory element latches the valid logic output values in response to a second timing reference signal.
