Abstract
A device for providing side-channel protection to a data processing circuit is provided and includes a chaotic oscillator and a counter. The data processing circuit has an input for receiving an input signal, a power supply terminal, and an output for providing an output signal. The chaotic oscillator circuit has an input coupled to receive a control signal, and an output coupled to provide an output signal for controlling a voltage level of a power supply voltage of the data processing circuit. The counter has an input coupled to receive a clock signal, and an output coupled to control a variable parameter of the chaotic oscillator in response to the clock signal. In another embodiment, a method is provided providing the side-channel protection to the device.
