The present invention relates to a cryptography circuit protected against observation attacks. The cryptography circuit comprises at least one register R (22) providing a variable x masked by the mask m, the masked variable being encrypted by a first substitution box S(1) in a cyclic manner. The circuit also comprises a mask register M (23) delivering at each cycle a mask m 1, the transformation of m, the mask m being extracted from m1 before being encrypted by a second substitution box S' (21), the new mask m' obtained on output from this box S' (21) is transformed into a mask m'1 before being stored in the mask register M(23) The transformation consists of a bijection or a composition law making it possible to reduce or indeed to cancel any high-order attack in accordance with a model of activity of the registers R and M. The invention applies notably for the protection of cryptography circuits against high-order observation attacks on installations based on masking.

La présente invention concerne un circuit de cryptographie protégé contre les attaques en observation. Le circuit de cryptographie comporte au moins un registre R (22) fournissant une variable x masquée par le masque m, la variable masquée étant cryptée par une première boîte de substitution 5 (1) de façon cyclique. Le circuit comporte aussi un registre de masque M (23) délivrant à chaque cycle un masque m 1 , transformation de m, le masque m étant extrait de m 1 avant d'être crypté par une deuxième boîte de substitution S' (21), le nouveau masque m' obtenu en sortie de cette boîte S' (21) est transformé en un masque m' 1 avant d'être stocké dans le registre de masque M(23) La transformation consiste en une bijection ou une loi de composition permettant de réduire voire d'annuler toute attaque d'ordre élevé suivant un modèle d'activité des registres R et M. L'invention s'applique notamment pour la protection de circuits de cryptographie contre les attaques en observation d'ordre élevé sur des implantations à base de masquage.
