    Abstract: The disclosure concerns implementing, by a cryptographic circuit, a set of substitution operations of a cryptographic process involving a plurality of substitution tables. For each set of substitution operations of the cryptographic process, a series of sets of substitution operations are performed. One set of the series is a real set of substitution operations corresponding to the set of substitution operations of the cryptographic process. One or more other sets are dummy sets of substitution operations, each dummy set being based on a different permutation of said substitution tables.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a circuit includes a supply terminal, a reference terminal, a logic circuit coupled between the supply terminal and the reference terminal, and an auxiliary circuit coupled to the logic circuit. The auxiliary circuit includes a plurality of switches configured to be controlled to produce random criterions. Each random criterion causes, on each transition of an output signal of the logic, an attenuation of a current flowing between a supply terminal of the circuit and a reference terminal of the circuit; or an increase of the current flowing between the supply terminal of the circuit and the reference terminal of the circuit; or an additional current flowing through the logic circuit on a current path not passing through the supply terminal; or no change in the current flowing between the supply terminal of the circuit and the reference terminal of the circuit.

    Abstract: A cryptographic circuit performs a substitution operation of a cryptographic algorithm. For each substitution operation of the cryptographic algorithm, a series of substitution operations are performed by the cryptographic circuit. One of the substitution operations of the series is a real substitution operation corresponding to the substitution operation of the cryptographic algorithm. One or more other substitution operations of the series are dummy substitution operations. A position of the real substitution operation in said series is selected randomly.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic chip includes a doped semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type, and wells of the second conductivity type on the side of the front face of the chip, in and on which wells circuit elements are formed. One or more slabs of a second conductivity type are buried under the wells and are separated from the wells. The electronic chip also includes, for each buried slab, a biasable section of the second conductivity type, which extends from the front face of the substrate to the buried slab. A first MOS transistor with a channel of the first conductivity type is disposed in the upper portion of each section, where the first transistor is an element of a flip-flop. A circuit is used for detecting a change in the logic level of one of the flip-flops.
