Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a three-value counter, in particular to a three-value counter which is based on sensitive amplification logic and resists differential energy attack. Background technique [0002] Since Kocher, the American Institute of Cryptography, proposed the concept of side channel attacks in 1998, [1] , as a hot research direction, has attracted extensive attention in various fields. Traditional cryptographic attacks use mathematical analysis methods to reveal the weaknesses of encryption algorithms. This requires the attacker to have considerable attainments in cryptanalysis and encryption algorithms. Side-channel attacks only use some marginal information, such as power consumption, execution time, output and input behavior during failures, radiation, power spikes, and other information to attack encryption chips, and it does not require attackers to be proficient in cryptanalysis and encryption algorithms. This poses a great threat ...
