This disclosure describes systems on a chip (SOCs) that prevent side channel attacks on encryption and decryption engines of an electronic device. The SoCs of this disclosure concurrently operate key-diverse encryption and decryption datapaths to obfuscate the power trace signature exhibited by the device that includes the SoC. An example SoC includes an encryption engine configured to encrypt transmission (Tx) channel data using an encryption key and a decryption engine configured to decrypt encrypted received (Rx) channel data using a decryption key that is different from the encryption key. The SoC also includes a scheduler configured to establish concurrent data availability between the encryption and decryption engines and activate the encryption engine and the decryption engine to cause the encryption engine to encrypt the Tx channel data concurrently with the decryption engine decrypting the encrypted Rx channel data using the decryption key that is different from the encryption key.
