Authenticated encryption satisfies the basic need for authenticity and confidentiality in our
information infrastructure. In this paper, we provide the specification of Ascon-128 and …

The design of glitch-resistant higher-order masking schemes is an important challenge in
cryptographic engineering. A recent work by Moos et al.(CHES 2019) showed that most …

Implementing cryptographic functions securely in the presence of physical adversaries is still
a challenge although a lion's share of research in the physical security domain has been put …

Implementing the masking countermeasure in hardware is a delicate task. Various solutions
have been proposed for this purpose over the last years: we focus on Threshold …

Abstract Even today, Side-Channel Analysis attacks pose a serious threat to the security of
cryptographic implementations fabricated with low-power and nanoscale feature …

Due to its sound theoretical basis and practical efficiency, masking has become the most
prominent countermeasure to protect cryptographic implementations against physical side …

Masking has been recognized as a sound and secure countermeasure for cryptographic
implementations, protecting against physical side-channel attacks. Even though many …

Over the last years, the rise of the IoT, and the connection of mobile-and hence physically
accessible-devices, immensely enhanced the demand for fast and secure hardware …

Intellectual Property (IP) thefts of trained machine learning (ML) models through side-
channel attacks on inference engines are becoming a major threat. Indeed, several recent …

In this work, we introduce a generalized concept for low-latency masking that is applicable to
any implementation and protection order, and (in its most extreme form) does not require on …
