A side channel analysis apparatus based on a profile includes a waveform collection unit configured to collect leaked information from a target device of a side channel analysis; and a preprocessing unit configured to preprocess a waveform data correspond to the leaked information collected from the waveform collection unit before analyzing same. Further, the side channel analysis apparatus includes an analysis unit configured to analyze the waveform data preprocessed in the preprocessing unit; and a profile configuration unit configured to make each process of the waveform collection unit, the preprocessing unit, and the analysis unit into a process and configure a profile for managing each process by connection of each process.

Side-channel analysis apparatus and method based on profile

In accordance with an embodiment, the logical exclusive operation on the random number RAND and the OPc value are performed several times, the logical operation and encryption processing using a random number RAND and logical operation and encryption processing using a random number S are done in any order, which brings an increase of an attack complexity as to whether to calculate the correlation coefficient from the power consumption waveform at any point when analyzing the correlation power, whereby it is possible to defend the CPA attack effectively.
