AbstractHardware devices can be protected against side-channel attacks by introducing one random mask per sensitive variable. The computation throughout is unaltered if the shares (masked variable and mask) are processed concomitantly, in two distinct registers. Nonetheless, this setup can still be attacked if the side-channel is squared, because this operation causes an interference between the two shares. This more sophisticated analysis is referred to as a zero-offset second-order correlation power analysis (CPA) attack. When the device leaks in Hamming distance, the countermeasure can be improved by the “leakage squeezing”. It consists in manipulating the mask through a bijection, aimed at reducing the dependency between the shares' leakage. Thus
