Abstract

This paper describes a novel design methodology to implement a secure DPA resistant crypto processor. The methodology is suitable for integration in a common automated standard cell ASIC or FPGA design flow. The technique combines standard building blocks to make new'compound standard cells, which have a close to constant power consumption. Experimental results indicate a 50 times reduction in the power consumption fluctuations.
