The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the symmetric cryptography standard that can be used to protect the electronic data. The natural and malicious injected faults may cause confidential information leakage and also reduce its reliability. In this study, we have explained a low complexity fault detection schemes for the AES architecture. The proposed work is low-complexity fault detection schemes using composite fields in polynomial basis for the AES encryption and decryption. These schemes are independent of the existing S-box and inverse S-box constructed. Here we have developed a new technique for the fault detection of subbyte and inverse subbyte using multiplicative inversion and affine transformation of the S-box and the inverse S-box. These are constructed in S-box and the inverse S-box. So this scheme can be used for the S-boxes and the inverse S-boxes in composite fields subbyte and inverse subbyte and using ROM. The proposed AES Fault detection scheme is coded in VHDL (Very High Speed Integrated Circuits Hardware Description Language), synthesized and simulated using EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tool-XilinxISEVirtex FPGA (http://www.xilinx.com/.). Finally the results are compared with Conventional ROM based subbyte and inverse subbyte to show the significant improvement in its efficiency in terms of path delay, speed and area.
