This paper proposes a secure scan design method which protects the circuits containing secret information such as cryptographic circuits from scan-based side channel attacks.The proposed method prevents the leakage of secret information by partial scan design based on a balanced structure. We also guarantee the testability of both the design under test and DFT circuitry, and therefore, realize both security and testability. Experiments for RSA circuit shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.
