As part of Cryptography Research’s ongoing cryptosystem research activities, we have been analyzing how to improve security of portable cryptographic tokens, including smart cards. Over the past year and a half, we have been working with the smart card vendor community to address attacks we have developed including Simple Power Analysis, Differential Power Analysis, High-Order Differential Power Analysis, and other related techniques. These are technically sophisticated and extremely powerful analysis tools that can be used by a cryptanalyst to extract secret keys from cryptographic devices.
