Abstract

Information security is an essential issue in communication system. Advance Encryption Standard (AES) is utilized as a part of many embedded applications to give data security. Different counter measures are present in AES against fault injection attacks. Plain text and key of 128-bit is given as an input to the system and encryption and decryption operations are performed. Flag error shows the status of fault. Fault is produced randomly during encryption and decryption. For this reason, round transformation is broken into two sections and a pipeline stage is inserted in between. After fault detection one operation is performed that is redundancy check. Detected error or fault is corrected using redundancy check. The scheme is implemented using FPGA.
