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 propose a new masking technique as a countermeasure against first order DPA attack and apply it to the ARIA. The proposed method is suitable for low memory environment. By using this countermeasure, we verified that it is secure against first order DPA attack. In addition, our method based on precomputation of inverse table can reduce the computational cost as increasing the number of S-BOX masking.
