Abstract

This chapter reviews the techniques an attacker could employ to conduct a Differential Fault Analysis of the Data Encryption Standard (DES). Biham and Shamir proposed the first such attack on a block cipher based on the differential cryptanalysis of DES. This attack was later extended to permit an attack based on faults in the early or middle rounds of DES.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Europay MasterCard Visa.

  2. 2.

    Note that a one-bit differential in the input of a DES S-box cannot produce a zero differential in the output.

  3. 3.

    Note that the \((p_i(\cdot ))_i\) distributions are almost independent of the secret key (this fact is argued in [47]).

  4. 4.

    This definition slightly differs from the definition in [178].
