Abstract

An embodiment concerns a method for encrypting a message through a cryptographic algorithm including a computation of a mathematical function including the computation of one or more modular multiplications. Such a cryptographic algorithm has a respective module. The method, carried out with an electronic device, includes: providing a first parameter; generating a random number; calculating a Montgomery parameter based on said first parameter and on a integer multiple of said random number; generating a representation of the message to be encrypted in a Montgomery domain through a Montgomery conversion function applied to the message and to the Montgomery parameter; carrying out the calculation of the mathematical function on the message represented in the Montgomery domain.
