Abstract :
This paper proposes a novel method intended to accelerate the checking of the robustness of a device against Differential Power Analysis. We propose an algorithm for the automatic selection of shortest short input vector sequence that leads to the secret key breakthrough. We show that the selected sequence remains valid for different designs of the same cryptographic function.
