Abstract

SKINNY is a new lightweight tweakable block cipher family, which can compete to other lightweight cipher in terms of hardware or software implementations. While its theoretical security has been widely studied, little effort has been made to analyze its implementation security such as side-channel attacks protection. In this paper, we first give correlation power attack and its experiment on SKINNY. Then, a masking scheme for software SKINNY is proposed against side-channel attacks. Its implementation shows that the protected SKINNY only costs 8.42%, 183.27%, and 90.85% of extra code, time, and RAM, respectively.
