Abstract
AEGIS, a dedicated authenticated encryption algorithm is one of the winners of the CAESAR portfolio. In literature, there exist fault attacks on AEGIS family of ciphers. Fault attack is one of the most efficient forms of side-channel attacks against implementations of cryptographic algorithms, and the protection against fault attack is vital for security-related devices. In this paper, we propose countermeasures for AEGIS family of ciphers. The proposed countermeasures show that the state of the ciphers can not be recovered faster than exhaustive search because it needs \(2^{128}\) time to recover a state of each cipher.
