  • Security chip with resistance to external monitoring attacks
    Patent number: 11797683
    Abstract: A method for performing a security chip protocol comprises receiving, by processing hardware of a security chip, a message from a first device as part of performing the security chip protocol. The processing hardware retrieves a secret value from secure storage hardware operatively coupled to the processing hardware. The processing hardware determines a path through a key tree based at least in part on the message. The processing hardware derives a validator at least in part from the secret value using a sequence of entropy redistribution operations associated with the path through the key tree. The processing hardware exchanges the validator between the security chip and the first device as part of the security chip protocol in order to authenticate at least one of the security chip or the first device.
