Title:
Scan-based Attacks on Linear Feedback Shift Register Based Stream Ciphers

Authors: Yu Liu, Kaijie Wu, Ramesh Karri

Abstract:

In this paper, we present an attack on stream cipher implementations by determining the scan chain structure of the linear feedback shift registers in their implementations. Although scan Design-for-Test (DFT) is a powerful testing scheme, we show that it can be used to retrieve the information stored in a crypto chip thus compromising its theoretically proven security.
