Patent number: 11582039Abstract: A method performs cryptographic operations on data in a processing device. An iterative operation between a first operand formed by a given number of words and a second operand using a secret key is performed. The iterative operation includes, for each bit of the secret key, applying one of a first set operations and a second set of operations to the first operand and to the second operand depending on of the bit, and conditionally swapping words of the first and the second operand based on a control bit value obtained by applying a logic XOR function to a random bit.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: STMICROELECTRONICS S.r.l.Inventors: Ruggero Susella, Filippo Melzani, Guido Marco Bertoni

Patent number: 11502836Abstract: A scalar multiplication operation includes an iterative procedure performing a set of operations at each iteration on a bit or on a group of consecutive bits of a secret key. The multiplication operation includes multiplying values of projective format coordinates by a random value. The random value is a product of a random number generated over a range having as end value a first value, with a second value, which is larger than said first value. The first value is a power of two of a word size multiplied by a multiplier value, minus one. The second value is equal to a power of two of a number of bits of the coordinates divided by the first value. The multiplier value is an integer greater than or equal to one and smaller than a ratio of said number of bits to the word size.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2021Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: STMICROELECTRONICS S.r.l.Inventors: Ruggero Susella, Guido Marco Bertoni
