Research of power-analysis to elliptic curve cryptography
Lan Zhao · Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Magazine · 2007
After the development of side-channel attack,these implementations in security area require more considerations to counteract these types of attacks.By using power analysis tool Simplepower,analysis was made to evaluate the security level of montgomery scalar multiplication on elliptic curve cryptography(ECC) when it was attacked by simple power analysis(SPA) and differential power analysis(DPA).The results show that Montgomery algorithm can prevent SPA attack while to DPA attack,it is less secure which mean extra methods should be used to protect against DPA.
