Abstract

Concurrent fault detection for a hardware implementation of the Advanced EncryptionStandard (AES) is important not only to protect the encryption/decryption process fromrandom faults. It will also protect the encryption/decryption circuitry from an attacker whomay maliciously inject faults in order to find the encryption secret key. In this paper wepresent a novel fault detection scheme which is based on a multiple parity bit code and showthat the proposed scheme leads to very efficient and high coverage fault detection. We thenestimate the associated hardware costs and detection latencies.
