Abstract
We propose a new differential power analysis (DPA) countermeasure based on the “masking method” proposed by Messerges [11]. We also evaluate the security of our method by introducing a new idea of “probabilistic DPA.” Its processing speed is as fast as that of the straight-forward implementation, and it requires little RAM so it is suitable for low-cost smartcards.
