A Countermeasure Resistant to Fault Attacks on CRT-RSA using Fault Infective Method

Jaecheol Ha, Jea-Hoon Park, Sang-Jae Moon · Information Security and Cryptology · 2008

Recently, the straightforward CRT-RSA was shown to be broken by fault attacks through many experimental results. In this paper, we analyze the fault attacks against CRT-RSA and their countermeasures, and then propose a new fault infective method resistant to the various fault attacks on CRT-RSA. In our CRT-RSA algorithm, if an error is injected in exponentiation with modulo p or q, then the error is spreaded by fault infective computation in CRT recombination operation. Our countermeasure doesn't have extra error detection procedure based on decision tests and doesn't use public parameter such as e. Also, the computational cost is effective compared to the previous secure countermeasures.
