Recently, information security of IoT(Internet of Things) have been increasing to interest and many research groups have been studying for cryptographic algorithms, which are suitable for IoT environment. LEA(Lightweight Encryption Algorithm) developed by NSRI(National Security Research Institute) is commensurate with IoT. In this paper, we propose two first-order Correlation Power Analysis(CPA) attacks for LEA and experimentally demonstrate our attacks. Additionally, we suggest the mask countermeasure for LEA defeating our attacks. In order to estimate efficiency for the masked LEA, its operation cost is compared to operation time of masked AES.
