Abstract

An Enhanced Current Balanced Logic (ECBL) is suggested to tackle the threat of Differential Power Attack (DPA) directly at the logic level. This paper investigates for the first time the suitability of ECBL for security purpose in smart card applications where area is determining cost factor.
