Abstract:
A method of testing security of an electronic device against a combination of a side-channel attack and a fault-injection attack implemented during a method of cryptographic processing that includes: delivering a message signature based on a secret parameter and implementing a recombination of at least two intermediate values according to the Chinese remainder theorem; and verifying the signature on the basis of at least one public exponent. The method of testing includes: transmitting a plurality of messages to be signed by said electronic device; disturbing each message, including modifying the message by inserting an identical error for each message, before executing a step of determining one of the intermediate values; and analyzing physical measurements, obtained during the step of verifying the signature as a function of the message to be signed, the identical error for each message, and an assumption of a value of part of the secret parameter.
