A Survey of the Sensitivities of Security Oriented Flip-Flop Circuits

A Survey of the Sensitivities of Security Oriented Flip-Flop Circuits

Side channel attacks have become a major threat to hardware systems. Most modern digital IC designs utilize sequential elements which dominate the information leakage. This paper reports the first unified analysis and comprehensive comparison of known secure flip-flop circuits. We present a device l...
