SDDT: An Operation Skip Attack Framework for Bitslice Ciphers—Validated on PIPO

본문 미리보기

Bitslice implementations are widely adopted in lightweight cryptography (LWC) due to their efficiency and inherent resilience to side-channel attacks. However, this paper reveals that their decomposition of the S-box exposes critical vulnerabilities to the operation skip fault model. Unlike data corruption faults suffering from high-entropy diffusion, we identify that skipping bitwise operations induces strongly restricted differential patterns. To exploit this characteristic, we propose the Ski
