Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for improving DES and other cryptographic protocols against external monitoring attacks by reducing the amount (and signal-to-noise ratio) of useful information leaked during processing. An improved DES implementation of the invention instead uses two 56-bit keys (K1 and K2) and two 64-bit plaintext messages (M1 and M2), each associated with a permutation (i.e., K1P, K2P and M1P, M2P) such that K1P {Kl} XOR K2P {K2} equals the "standard" DES key K, and M1P {M1} XOR M2P {M2} equals the "standard" message. During operation of the device, the tables are preferably periodically updated, by introducing fresh entropy into the tables faster than information leaks out, so that attackers will not be able to obtain the table contents by analysis of measurements. The technique is implementable in cryptographic smartcards, tamper resistant chips, and secure processing systems of all kinds.

La présente invention concerne des procédés et dispositifs perfectionnant les standards cryptographiques et durcissant les protocoles cryptographiques contre les agressions par surveillance. En l'occurrence, on diminue la quantité de données utiles fuyant au cours du traitement, et partant le rapport signal-bruit. La réalisation perfectionnée du standard cryptographique met en oeuvre deux clés à 56 bits (K1 et K2) et deux messages en clair à 64 bits (M1 et M2), associés chacun à une permutation, par exemple K1P, K2P et M1P, M2P de façon que K1P {K1} XOR K2P {K2} soit égal à la clé K "normalisée" du standard cryptographique, et que M1P {M1} XOR M2P {M2} soit égal au message "normalisé". Pendant le fonctionnement du dispositif, les tables sont mises à jour périodiquement. En l'occurrence, elles intègrent de l'entropie récente plus rapidement que l'information ne fuit. Il en résulte que les agresseurs n'ont aucun moyen de voir le contenu des tables par analyse de mesures. Ce procédé peut se mettre en oeuvre dans tous types de cartes à puces cryptographiques, microprocesseurs inviolables et systèmes de traitement sécurisés.
