Title
Differential Power Analysis of HMAC SHA-1 and HMAC SHA-2 in the Hamming Weight Model.
Abstract
As any algorithm manipulating secret data, HMAC is potentially vulnerable to side channel attacks. In 2004, Lemke et al. fully described a differential power attack on HMAC with RIPEMD-160 in the Hamming weight leakage model, and mentioned a possible extension to SHA-1. Later in 2007, McEvoy et al. proposed an attack against HMAC with hash functions from the SHA-2 family, that works in the Hamming distance leakage model. This attack makes strong assumptions on the target implementation. In this paper, we present an attack on HMAC SHA-2 in the Hamming weight leakage model, which advantageously can be used when no information is available on the targeted implementation. Furthermore, we give a full description of an extension of this attack to HMAC SHA-1. We also provide a careful study of the protections to develop in order to minimize the impact of the security on the performances.
