A Study on Analyzing Side-Channel Resistant Encoding Schemes with Respect to Fault Attacks

Recently, several software encoding countermeasures were proposed, utilizing the side-channel hiding concept for software implementations. While these schemes aim to protect the underlying code against various leakage models, they can also be utilized against fault injection attacks to some extent....
