Abstract

This paper describes the synthesis of dynamic differential logic to increase the resistance of FPGAs against Differential Power Analysis. Compared with an existing technique, it saves more than a factor 2 in slice utilization. Experimental results indicate that a secure version of the AES algorithm can now be implemented with a mere doubling of the slice utilization when compared with a normal non-secure single ended implementation.
