Abstract
In an aspect, a method can include generating a cyclic redundancy check code for a binary data item, using a generator polynomial; and masking, using polynomial addition, the binary data item with a binary mask. The method can also include at least one of: storing, by a microcircuit, the masked binary data item in a memory of an electronic device; or transferring, by the microcircuit, the masked data item to another device. The cyclic redundancy check code for the binary data item can be generated from the masked binary data item to prevent discovery of the binary data item by a side-channel attack during the generating the cyclic redundancy check. The binary mask can be a multiple of a random number and the generator polynomial, such that respective cyclic redundancy check code of the masked data item and the binary data item have a same result.
