Abstract

LED algorithm is a new lightweight encryption algorithm proposed in CHES 2011, which is used for IOT to protect the communication security of RFID tags and smart cards. It has been found that it is possible to retrieve secret key of algorithm by appropriate analysis of the devices’s power consumption, and the differential power analysis is the most powerful attack. This paper proposed a method of differential power analysis on LED algorithm. Combined with hardware circuit, it designed and implemented differential power analysis of the LED encryption system. The experimental results show that method which is proposed in this paper was cracked the 64 bits key of LED. Thus, without protection, the cipher LED would be difficult to resist differential power analysis. and according this, We provide a general analysis method of differential power analysis on other lightweight cryptographic algorithms.
