  1. CryptoBlaze:8-Bit Security Microcontroller

  2. Agenda • What is CryptoBlaze? • KryptoKit • GF(2m) Multiplier • Customize CryptoBlaze • Attacks • CryptoBlaze Support

  3. What is CryptoBlaze? • A fully customizable soft microcontroller • PicoBlaze • 49 baseline16-bit instructions • 8 general-purpose 8-bit registers • Set of Cryptographic processor architecture extensions (“KryptoKit”) • Field operations • S-Boxes • LFSR extensions

  4. PicoBlaze

  5. PicoBlaze Baseline Instruction Set

  6. KryptoKit * irreducible polynomial in trinomial or pentanomial form

  7. What is a Galois Field? • Finite Field with binary operands • Has all the math properties for closure on addition, multiplication, commutivity, etc. • An extension field permits polynomial notation and algebraic manipulation • Commonly used to describe Linear Feedback Shift Registers • Very interesting properties appropriate to CPLDs

  8. Finite Field Arithmetic • Field Arithmetic is cool • All operands ultimately the same number of bits • Suitable for fixed word size applications • Cryptography • Channel coding (Reed Solomon, BCH, Viterbi, etc.) • Digital signal processing • Addition for Galois Fields is just EX-OR • Multiplication can be done with Add/Shift • Needs polynomial “modulo” correction

  9. Example of 8 Bit Multiplication 8 4 3 57 * 83 = C1 (reduction polynomial = X + X + X + X + 1 = 100011011) 0101 0111 (57) x 1000 0011 (83) 01010111 01010111 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 01010111_______ 10101101111001 (answer, must be reduced) EX-OR 100011011_____ 00100000011001 (must be reduced again!) EX-OR 100011011___ 000011000001 = C1 (done! ie, stop when msb=1) Example: GF(23) Multiply

  10. GF(2m) Multiplier/Adder • Natural extension of Berlekamp-Massey structure • Based on work of Johannes Großschädl • Compiled & simulated • Works in serial or parallel modes • Can use DualEdge clocking for performance • Operates up to: 250+ MHz • Built up to 163 bits long in CoolRunner-II • App Note on GF(2m) Multiplier (Xapp 371)

  13. CryptoBlaze =PicoBlaze with Field Operations GF(23) MPY

  14. Applications • ECC-Error Channel Coding • Reed-Solomon • BCH operations • ECC-elliptic curve cryptography • RSA • Advanced Encryption Standard

  15. CoolRunner-II Enhanced Security • Multiple security bits • Nonvolatile • Reconfigurable • Multiple metal layers • Difficult to reverse engineer • Double Data Rate Operation • DataGate

  16. Design Your Own • Start with baseline instrs. - delete unused ones • Add choice of elements from KryptoKit • Evaluate tradeoffs of S/W vs. H/W solutions • First identify bottlenecks • Second evaluate replacement H/W • Invent new instructions • Tune the processor to suit your requirements • Easy to add to VHDL and the assembler

  17. Attacks • Anything that can get a cryptographic module to reveal its “secret” is an attack • Brute force attack (lots of trials) • Chosen text attacks • Side channel • Timing attacks • Power analysis • Tempest attack • Usually targets the protocol

  18. Power Analysis: Kerckhoffs meets Kirchoff • Looks at the current flow into a chip over time • Distinguishes “different” power behavior to reveal inner behavior of algorithm • Usually focuses on microprocessors, with knowledge of algorithm and instruction set • Easily identifies loop/branching behavior • loop behavior correlates to keystream bits • CryptoBlaze method permits tuning of the processor to increase difficulty of Power Analysis

  19. - + input output   Basic Idea

  20. Power Attack Strategies • Loop behavior is identified with Power Analysis • Loop unrolling helps • Breaking up loops helps • Modifying instructions helps • Modifying hardware helps • bogus randomizing hardware • Homogenizing execution time helps • Main idea: changing the hardware helps! • Power tuning is possible

  21. CryptoBlazeConclusion • Building specialized processors can improve: • Performance • Power consumption • Security • Development support available free from Xilinx • Basic reference design • Cross Assembler • Krypto Kit • Fully supported by Xilinx Design Software
