Cryptographic security gets compromised if the current waveforms so obtained correlate with those from a hypothetical power model of the circuit. Such correlations can be minimized by masking datapath operations with random bits in a reversible way. We analyze such countermeasures and discuss how they perform and how well they lend themselves to being incorporated into dedicated hardware implementations of the advanced encryption standard (AES) block cipher. Our favorite masking scheme entails a performance penalty of some 40-50%. We also present a VLSI design that can serve for practical experiments with DPA.","PeriodicalId":294077,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 30th European Solid-State Circuits Conference","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131607547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The driver works well at 2.5 Gbps under 3.3 V and 5 V supply voltage, consuming typical power of 310 mW and 945 mW respectively. It can give a modulation voltage (with 50-/spl Omega/ load) ranging from 0.55 V/sub P-P/ to 4.2 V/sub P-P/ under 3.3 V supply voltage and 0.6 V/sub p-p/ to 6.2 V/sub P-P/ under 5 V supply voltage, therefore it can be used as a laser diode or optical modulator driver.

A feed forward path substantially reduces the signal component in the loop, enabling high dynamic range at low power levels. A second order mismatch shaper removes any nonlinearity or tones caused by element mismatch in the feedback DAC. A rough/fine input sampling scheme alleviates the loading on the input driver, improving distortion. An offset compensated switched-capacitor scheme is used in the rough buffer to avoid offset integration in AC coupled applications.
