Shortest Path to Secured Hardware: Domain Oriented Masking with High-Level-Synthesis

Implementing hardware secure against side-channel attacks (SCA) demands significant time and expertise in hardware design. In this paper, we propose a simple and fast approach for synthesizing masked block cipher hardware from a C-code exploiting High-Level-Synthesis (HLS), which allows a very short design time. Compared to previous approaches, our proposal provides a systematic and general flow b...
