Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for performing an iterative block cipher. Line rotations and column rotations are combined to have a diversity of representations of the AES state. These protections can be performed either in static mode where the rotations are directly included in the code and the tables or in dynamic mode where the rotations are chosen randomly at execution time, depending on some entropic context variables. The two modes can also be advantageously combined together.
