Encryption engine having randomized round scheduling to prevent side channel attacks
Abstract:
Encryption engines shuffle data segments during encryption and/or decryption, thereby obtaining a random permutation of the data segments to be used during encryption and/or decryption. By shuffling the data during encryption/decryption and using the resulting random permutation for encryption/decryption, the encryption engines obfuscate the power consumption information that attackers might access as part of an SCA. In some examples, the encryption engines perform intra-round shuffling of the input data within a reduced-sized encryption datapath configured to iteratively compute a portion of an encrypted block of data.
