Embodiment Construction

[0025] Elliptic curve cryptosystems generally require the definition of so-called "domain" parameters. In GF(p) or GF(2 m ) type Galois field, these parameters include: a large prime number p or a large integer m; the generation point or base point G of coordinates Gx and Gy in the Galois field; the prime number n called "order" of point G, such that is the point at infinity or the neutral element in the Galois field; the parameters defining the elliptic curve; the number f called the "cofactor", generally equal to 1, 2, or 4, so that f·n represents the number of points of the elliptic curve. In a Galois field of type GF(p), an elliptic curve may for example have a shape such as E(a,b):y 2 =x 3 The equation of +ax+b. In this elliptic curve, the opposite point of a point P with affine coordinates (x, y) is a point -P with coordinates (x, -y).

Abstract

A method in an elliptic curve cryptographic system, the method being executed by an electronic device and including a multiplication operation of multiplying a point of an elliptic curve by a scalar number, the point having affine coordinates belonging to a Galois field, the multiplication operation including steps of detecting the appearance of a point at infinity during intermediate calculations of the multiplication operation, and of activating an error signal if the point at infinity is detected and if the number of bits of the scalar number processed by the multiplication operation is lower than the rank of the most significant bit of an order of a base point of the cryptographic system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the implementation of elliptic curve encryption methods in electronic devices, and in particular to the detection of attacks by such devices during the execution of cryptographic calculations. Background technique [0002] Various known elliptic curve encryption methods are based on scalar multiplication whose mathematical expression is: (k times), P is the point selected on the elliptic curve, k is an integer, is an addition operator applied to points of an elliptic curve. The number k can be used, for example, as a private key, the point obtained from this operation Or one of the affine coordinates of the point can be used as the public key corresponding to the private key k. In fact, from the result Finding the value of the number k in the coordinates of and point P is very difficult, especially when the number k and the coordinates of point P are chosen high enough. This operation is used, for example, duri...
