Statistical Analysis of High-Order Power Analysis
Minsu Kim, Hee-Seok Kim, Seokhie Hong · Information Security and Cryptology · 2011
dth-order power analysis can safely be defended by dth-order masking method. However, as the degree of applied masking method increases, it can significantly decrease effectiveness of cryptosystem. The existing statistical analysis on high-order power analysis contains only analysis on second power analysis. However, this means absent of safety standards when crypto engineers apply 3rd or more order masking. this absent of standards can lead to insignificant usage of masking method which can significantly decrease effectiveness of cryptosystem. In this dissertation, we have generalize statistical values on high-order power analysis to establish these standards. In other words, we have generalized the value of a correlation coefficient when calculation of high-order power analysis methods are performed. That is to say, it can greatly be used to indicate a degrees that can be applied on further usage of masking method.
