Further analysis of block ciphers against timing attacks
Wei Li, Dawu Gu · Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences · 2006
Timing attacks break a cryptosystem by time measurement to recover keys. Most available countermeasures protect block ciphers based on the safety of modules. This paper gives a complete definition of timing attacks and studies the vulnerability of operations and modules on timing attack. We present a method to transfer the security of the algorithm to that of secure operations by reduction. As a result, we modern croptography with real-world implementations of block ciphers.
